    i also noticed they had hop showers cans still in the canning line. i wonder what thats about.

    want to echo that this batch of AEE is great now but will be killer in a couple weeks.

    Likely HS and AEE.

    In hindsight, I wish I had gotten more HS and less double mosaic daydream. It's that good!

    Whoa, this batch of Hop Showers tastes not so unlike straight up Sprite. I'm not a huge fan of the soft drink, but this is a crazy cool showcase of what Motueka is capable of, IMO.

    can confirm

    cracked a mylar last night and one from the previous batch. previous batch is head over heels better.

    Color of this batch of mylar is murky and brown and tastes way off.

    yikes

    Yeah it's a real bummer -- OH has been killing it with the consistency for a while so to have two of my favorite beers taste so off in 2 weeks is surprising. Not to mention that I've now got $60 worth of mehh in my fridge. How's the mosaic if anyone has cracked one? I'm wishing I had bought more hop showers!

    I was excited for the Bellwoods Collab but Hibiscus is not something I'm a huge fan of. The Evil Twin collab sounds dope tho.

    Also I'm hoping the DDH version of DCDD is a marked improvement over the base version, which I found to be pretty underwhelming. I was surprised cause I loved DMDD a lot and I'm not as big on Mosaic as I am on Citra.

    Really pumped to hear great things about this batch of Hop Showers, haven't cracked one yet but even more excited about the ease in getting cans yesterday. Sounds like DDH AEE and Hop Showers were the winners from this weekend.

    I'm assuming the Citra will be a 2x batch.

    Hmm yeah the multiple colors of the cans might indicate that too. Either way this is looking like a solid release.

    It's been said before but it bears repeating: this batch of Hop Showers is incredible. Haven't been this stoked on an Other Half beer in a while. Worthy of loading up on.

    Hilariously, otherhalf just blocked me on Instagram for pointing out that Simcoe last week was all wrong. But I don't know if they've also blocked all the folks who agreed with me on that thread!
