    I see this is available at a story about 40 minutes from me in greater Mn and am debating on taking a trip to pick it up but see no reviews on it here and their website doesn't even have a write-up on it.

    Anyone try it at the beer fest last weekend or elsewhere and if so any thoughts?

    Don't make a special trip for that one (IMHO). Pretty run of the mill IPA. I don't know about you but I like my IPAs with some sticky bite, clean hop flavor and lingering aftertaste. This one has kind of a mashed up hop taste with a more malt driven watery mouthfeel. Not a bad session type beer on a nice sunny day but not anywhere close to furious, sweet child, saga, ect. I live in the lk mtka area and this and the shandy 4-pak cans are all over here.

    Thanks....exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for....I won't make the trip and will pickup some Saga (if I can find it up here...been real hit or miss at the stores) or Two Hearted instead...

    Didn't enjoy my sample at ABR, but saw a single can yesterday & picked it up, since my palate was not to be completely trusted after ten or twelve other samples.

    I was pissed when I bought a 4 pack of that stuff! Miller lite hopped up, not enjoyable at all!!! $8.99 a 4 pack never again! 2 of the four were thrown away! (one for me, and one for the wife=gross)
