    Isn't Bright supposed to be a classic ipa? I may be mistaken but the few I've had haven't been hazy at all.

    Turns out I didnt know much about it before i traded for it (along with a mixture of C44, Julius, Alter Ego, and Lights On). I was expecting a typical hazy beer, but it was still good. I preferred it to Lights On (which was rather lame). But yeah it's a classic ipa.

    How is Hopsmack? I don't normally like DIPAs, but given the tear TG has been on I might be willing to bite on this.

    I had it a while back and really enjoyed it. One of my favorite TG bombers to date (i.e. better than Pompeii, Lightspeed, X Hops)

    Binny's Grand had both new TG bottles while I was there. Only 1 left of DDH Sue (that I saw), but there was some Hopsmack sitting there.

    Binny's Willowbrook has both of the new TG bottles. They are in the back so you have to ask for them.

    I'm drinking my bottle of DDH Sue right now, and I am now convinced that the first boxed cans we got from Decorah of Sue were actually DDH Sue but in regular Sue cans / packaging.

    Yeah I don’t disagree at all. The DDH Sue from June 2016 looks very different. That beer had floaties but was kind of like an Alchemist beer. This is just a straight NEIPA. Drinking Hopsmack now. I’m getting a little spice that you normally get from a rye ipa. I have no idea what makes up this beer but I would have guessed a rye NEIPA in a blind tasting
