    I got no freaking clue how many I have sent but I have a pretty open weekend so I may try to figure it out.

    I purposely don't keep track of these things, so they can't be used against me.

    I am keeping track of everything (boxes, bottles, ounces), but not revealing anything until after my LIF ends on Dec 1st.

    Needed an afternoon quencher, and as I'm expecting some fresh hops soon, why not go with 3 Floyds' Broo Doo?

    Actually, although I've seen this beer many times on the forum, I didn't know what kind of beer it was at all. It's listed as a "harvest ale" on the bottle. I figured it was relatively easy going, though, despite the bomber format, and once I read "fresh hops," I was sold.

    This is a wonderful expression of fresh hops, with an almost West Coast approach to bitterness and presentation. In that regard, it's a bit of a throwback: it's not pulpy or sweet, it's pretty bitter, there's no lactose, vanilla, or fruit juice. You can actually taste and smell the malt, and if there are any modern/new-school hops, I can't find them.

    Funny enough, one page after we have a discussion about ratings, I've got this one with a 5.0 appearance and 4.75 aroma. I tried to find a flaw in the appearance, and ... well, of course it's subjective, but it just looks perfect. The aroma is rated in context with style, and it's nothing shy of superb.

    4.32 / +1.6%

    Overall 4.32, and I really do think this is a world class IPA.

    Thanks Dan, and cheers all!

    I barely managed to calm her down. Just enough to get a return address. She said it was from Mr. @Bum4ever

    UNBELIEVABLE I say . She says I’m not joking.

    I got another 80-90 coming your way, I need a mystery beer , plus more swag. If you liked the Gose I could add a few more, or their regular Gose which is sour as hell and salty.

    Fun fact: before a single “official” box landed, there were 12 ninja/LIF boxes sent, containing 95 bottles/cans, totaling just over 1500 ounces.

    Early guesses on the ounce count might need to be revised...just sayin...

    A quick story that might be of interest to @thebeers .

    A couple weeks ago, I stopped at a mini-mart downtown for a walking beer for my walk home. I spot a seasonal release that I enjoy muchly every year. I grab a bottle, and, on my way to the counter, I notice it's a year old. I mention it the girl working, and she couldn't have cared less.

    Next day, I shoot an email to the brewery. They get back to me within an hour, saying their rep will light a fire under somebody's ass. I go back to the store a couple days later, and, yup, all fresh stock in the cooler.

    Today, a box shows up for me, with two bottles. One will be heading out in my follow up box.
