    Pinthouse gives it a go, but obviously that's just in Austin

    I was @ Pinthouse's Burnet location a couple weeks ago. Tried 5 different beers - a mix of IPAs and DIPAs. Found all of them to be way too bitter... certainly nothing like the NEIPA style.

    That said, I did get a pint of Electric Jellyfish when visiting Jester King that same weekend and loved it. Wouldn't classify it as NE re: taste, but it was cloudy and delicious.

    Drinking this now. It's really good. It's not easy going, but I would not have guessed 12%. More like 9 or 10%. It hits hard at first, but it really smooths out during the second half of the can, and makes you feel fabulous. :slight_smile:

    It's a one of for me due to the ABV though. I would love to see something like this at 7 or 8%

    I thought it was really good too. Definitely a big beer but with tons of complexity. Not sure I would say it is NE in style though. However, like Techichi, I will not be able to work a 12% into my rotation too often. Nice change of pace and excellent addition to the DFW brew scene though.

    Tried on tap and I was expecting a real malty mess - something like devil dancer as someone earlier said - but I got a ton of grapefruit from it, and an all around good hop load... not sure if cans will come to austin, but I'll grab some if they do

    Big Hoppa was a one time release...atleast for now!

    The crew did a awesome job creating that beer with our inspiration. Kegs are still floating around, and we may have some cans waiting for the new location in fort worth to open with.

    Cheers Y'all!

    After finishing off the last one, I really started to miss it lol. I've been keeping an eye out for them. I don't see it at any of the major stores in Fort Worth.

    Hope to see this again, but not too often. MH does a great job with all of the monthly releases they have, plus the Cellarman's IPA. Always exciting when you see your favorite, or something new pop up.

    Also, thank you again for coming to FTW. We really needed you guys over here. And it doesn't hurt you are putting your shop about a mile away from me. Time to get a growler holder on my bike!

    So it looks like MH did make another IPA at 6% called Friday. Grabbed a growler and it's pretty good. It's nice to see a brewery so close to home doing good things.
