    Citradamus predicted this I believe. Thanks more to come. We have a collab coming up with Green Flash my ol stomping grounds. Just waiting on the upcoming hop harvest so it a little ways out.

    We tapped Hop Sequence No. 7 IPA today at Station 26. Marris Otter, wheat, and oats, Inland Island East Coast IPA yeast, and Amarillo, Citra, El Dorado, and a splash of Simcoe. We really like the way this one turned out. Drink a pint and let us know what you think!

    Waiting for it to mellow out. Haven't had it out of the can yet but on tap it tasted pretty green. Prolly crack open a can in a few days.

    It's dynamite but it needs time. Feels like I need to shave my tongue after having a can right now (but it's mellowing quickly). It's going to be f'ing outstanding in a week or so.

    Having a fresh Epic Day now. I love this beer.

    Oh, forgot to mention, Intersect Brewing in Fort Collins has a nice NE IPA called Tramps Like Us. Not the very best Colorado has to offer, but certainly worth a try if you're in the area.

    Definitely a fan of Tramps... certainly not the best of the 'style' in Colorado, but easily the best that anyone in Fort Collins has released as far as I know.

    4 Noses is tapping V1 of an experimental west coast style DIPA loaded with Simcoe, Galaxy and Citra finishing at 8.7%. Come give it a shot, crowlers and draft only.

    You need to try this one. But you'd have to come out to Michigan to get some

    Since @Domingo said:
    Our incredibly unscientific blind taste tasting just finished up. Everyone who expressed interest was invited.

    7 were in attendance. The beers were served in a dark room, in black souffle cups, poured by a 3rd party, blind. Here are the beers in no particular order, followed by percentage who thought these beers are hazy after tasting them blind.

    La Cumbre Elevated IPA (not hazy), 14%
    Dry Dock Hop Abomination (not hazy), 29%
    Comrade Superpower (not hazy), 86%
    Odd13 Robot Librarian (hazy), 71%
    Station 26 Hop Sequence 7 (hazy), 86%
    Ursula Lazy Brewer (hazy), 86%
    Eddyline Epic Day (not hazy), 0%
    Melvin 2x4 (not hazy), 14%
    Cerebral Strange Claw (hazy), 71%
    Breakside Wanderlust IPA (not hazy), 0%
    Odd13 n00b (hazy), 57%
    La Cumbre Project Dank (not hazy), 0%
    New Image East Coast Transplant (hazy), 36%
    Cerebral Time Crystal (hazy), 29%
    Odd13 Codename: Superfan (hazy), 100%
    Dry Dock IPA (hazy), 29%
    Odd13 Hop Wizard (hazy), 43%
    Weldwerks Juicy Bits (hazy), 29%
    Station 26 Juicy Banger (not hazy), 43%

    I think the first ten we did better at picking out nuances. By the end...not so much. Makes me really feel bad for the people with great IPA's that are being judged near the end of GABF.

    The big surprises were Superpower and Juicy Bits. Most of us got the two highest profile items wrong.

    so @dauss, were you the one out of 7 who correctly identified Superpower as not hazy? or do you not know each tasters vote on each beer? (Or did you not participate except as steward?)

    I did not correctly ID Superpower, but I don't drink Superpower all that often.

    Everyone had a sheet to mark their guesses and we totaled them up and then revealed afterwards.
