    I don't think KOB is very bitter either but I do think it is more bitter than your average juice bomb. Velocity of light was more bitter.

    Beer Cellar only got 1 case, and it was gone in 20 minutes. Binny's in Bloomingdale got it yesterday, I'd check there first.

    PSA: They still have King of Borgs at The Dojo. Saw a full shelf of the cooler stocked, not sure if they had more.

    Hello, all! Planning to hit the Dojo up for some cans/bottles this afternoon. Can anyone recommend any places to eat and/or drink out that way (or point me to the post where this has been discussed) - thanks in advance!

    Unless I'm remembering it incorrectly, King of Borgs reminds me a lot of The Juice is Loose by Transient. Could just be my palate.

    Really digging the KOB. When comparing to the MA beers, it's more Trillium than Tree House. It's got a little of the fullness/grittyness/full hop flavor. I wouldn't necessarily say bite, but it definitely lingers.

    KoB is worth a trip to the Dojo.

    I wasn’t going to dare be the first to utter the word trillium, but that’s immediately what I thought of when drinking KOB

    It's certainly not an insult...it was the easiest way I could express the taste/feel. It may be hyperbole, but it's really one of the better NEIPAs I've had from the area. It's up there with Stay Lit for local NEIPAs that will stick with me.

    I've literally been looking forward to having another one all day....it was worth the wait.

    Well, if you are seeing it in grocery stores up north, I can still hold out hope that this shows at my Binnys. PW drops have become far and few between down here, not to mention unpredictable.
