    Yes, sorry, guess I should have added that. Very hazy.

    Thanks I'll have to grab a couple. And I agree, love Special Sauce but finding it is more right place right time then anything else. At least from my experience.

    To be clear, the "EXPLAIN" meant that I was excited to hear why you said what you said, not that I was irritated at you for not expanding on what you said. Either way, you've got me curious!

    Oh I did not think you were irritated. I picked this up from Binny's Grand a few weeks ago and finally got around to drinking with friends last Friday night. Probably my favorite of all this style this year.

    It's interesting that une Annee brewed this style (I haven't had one, but I'll start looking). I thought the whole purpose of jerry starting Hubbards cave was to have a new brand to sell hop bombs and adjunct stouts, while une annee would remain Belgian styles.

    Thanks for posting, hoping to find one

    I believe Devil's Reign is a Belgian-style IPA, from what I remember looking up, so that'd still be in keeping with their MO.

    Will the Juice is Loose from Transient go quickly? I would love to try to get, but will not be able to go until Saturday. Has anybody got any a few days after a release?

    You're probably better off posting in the Transient thread. Here's a post which might help answer your question though.

    Well, having had Juice Is Loose both on draft & can...crown it's ass. Upper echelon NE IPA. Pineapple, peach, orange...not bitter but with a pleasant dry finish. And a pretty, semi-opaque orange juice haze...

    I just had a Flightless from Transient....holy cow, no reason to trade for TH or Trillium if they keep up with this. Was just fantastic and goes toe to toe with those East coast boys and I have had nearly all of them

    Completely agree. Flightless and Obligatory are absolutely world class.

    Ok, so where does one go to acquire flightless or juice is loose?
    Beer menus is zero help. Work in the north burbs
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Bridgman, MI. Juice is Loose is on tap, I believe there is still Flightless cans.

    Otherwise, trades/second hand market.
