    Sounds F'ing delicious. I hope it makes it to somewhere near me. Any idea on a price point?

    I’d assume similar to the previous fresh hop and experimental hop packs. I can’t recall how much we paid here in NC. It was more than a normal SN 12 pack but less than the beer camps of previous years. $18ish maybe?

    The Experimental Hop pack was disappointing. The Double IPA was not good. The others were average.

    I still haven't seen the Southern Hemisphere Hop Pack that was supposed to be released in April? No reviews on the site here either?

    It was mentioned in the SN Summer pack thread that the Southern Hemisphere pack was moved to late June distribution.

    Was a fan of the fresh hop pack, experimental was so-so.

    They are offering up Moasic, so it's pretty darn close right there. They're kissing cousins.

    This has finally been released. Picked it up from the Mills River location yesterday. All canned between 7/30 and 8/01. Will post more when I try some.

    It took a month to get it on the shelf in the same state it was brewed?

    The Southern Hemispere beers were phenomenal even 2 months after canning. Session was maybe one of the best low ABv hoppy beers I’ve had to date.

    To me the double IPAs have been the dud in the last two, not bad but not as good as the others.

    According to the site it is back to a Single Hop IPL vs a Pilsner, still Citra:

    Curious to hear your thoughts.

    Since it's SN, it will still be good after some time. But, it sounds like they have a problem with getting things out to their customers timely (and by timely, I mean as fast other breweries).

    Folks, keep in mind that they can/bottle condition in their facility for AT LEAST (2-3??) weeks before going out for distro. Quibble if you’d like, but they are not going to get product on shelves within a few days of canning/bottling...ever. That is intentional and by design.

    Good point. But, it's just that much easier to pick up a beer canned less than 2 weeks ago rather than 2 months ago. Especially when local places are doing releases weekly. Not saying I'm right, just saying it plays a factor.
