    The line is not that long but it's barely moving at all.

    That's pretty much exactly what I'm saying. But you can try them before you fill up, so maybe you'll think differently.

    Too many options with 4 cans and bottles still available. Also the "go over there and pack" table has become the "let me set my beer here while I drink" table.

    Almost there, but I'll likely miss the Tropical Depression.

    I am pretty sure I'll miss tropical depression too. However, I would be more than willing to compensate somebody if they would send me an empty. I just want one of the labels.

    No line. Everything but depression cans left. Good time for the locals to swing by.

    Ok ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to line skipper, John Doe.

    [​IMG]

    I arrived at 645AM, and was hanging out in my spot until the sun came out and started cooking everyone. So I parked myself across the street sitting on the curb in the shade by the oil place. This guy, John Doe, didnt know it, but me and my buddy were watching him work his way from Garnett St. down to my spot on line. He was taking advantage of everyone being across the street in the shade and not paying attention. He hung out there until the line started moving. He then proceeded to skip about 20-30 people up while everyone were gathering their belongings and werent paying attention. So he shows up at like 830AM... and ends up ahead of the guy with the goatee and sunglasses who lives in Jersey and brings all the Magnify stuff that arrives at like 615AM (sorry dont know your name).

    Im usually not fickle about things like this, but Ive started noticing him over the last couple of releases. Its not fair to the people in the back of the line its not fair to the people in front who are frying in their skin.

    Tropical depression, oh myyy

    I suspect some will be off put by the passion fruit because it isn't as gentle a flavor as mango, papaya, or other tropical fruit. You get the tart juiciness of the passion fruit and it lingers on the tongue for a while. It isn't super complex but it's juicy and delicious (if you like passion fruit, if not, well, what did you expect?)

    One of my greenprint's got a tiny hole in it from dragging my bag just when I got off the train, but it tastes like some dope lemon sweet tea!

    Still not sure what to make of the topical depression I had with lunch. Love the passion fruit but the hop balance is definitely something I'm not used to

    What hop balance? Its a 0 IBU beer, thats why it tastes a bit weird.

    That's not entirely true. There are no IBUs from boiling hops. Their instagram post suggests there's still Galaxy and Citra, two hops with lots of fruity notes.

    As it warms, I think you can really pick up more of what I think is the hops from the aroma.

    It definitely has hops (Galaxy and Citra), it's just that they are all dry-hop which is why no IBUs.

    Swung by an hour ago and plenty of everything left but Topical Depression, so I got a growler of that and some Greenprint and Baby Diamonds cans. Really easy experience, makes me wonder why I ever bothered to wait in line for releases.

    0 ibu's bruh

    It's still has galaxy and citra which you definitely pick up. It just leads to a different finish, and a different hop profile than other ipas.
