    Finally found this fresh at just under a month old. And what does Raul think? It’s different. First, is the orange hue. Most hazies are a cloudy yellow, right? The flavor is pungent and fresh. This is unique for sure. I can’t put my finger on it what it is that stands out, but this is definitely an individualized beer. Not my favorite, but I respect it and your right to enjoy it!:

    Perfect glitch:

    My last bottle of Eddie Fitz, wanna start breaking out into some Gordon Lightfoot every time I drink it. Its good, my only surprise was a vegetal flavor that keeps poking through but it’s solid and glad I finally got to try it.

    Well, this is what I'm probably going to end the evening with. Someone brought this over on our annual 12 Beers of Xmas and left it in my fridge and it's been taunting me ever since. I don't normally drink hard ciders and this reminds me why because it pretty much sucks!

    New Hampshire is now crossed off my list thanks to @smanson56 .

    Totally digging this beer. Makes me think I'm in a tropical environment right now like @VABA is, instead of the frozen Minnesota tundra.


    Interesting video, but I think we all know the answer to this question.

    This was amazing. Great head retention/soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup, toffee, vanilla, cream, bourbon, coconut, toasted oak, roasted nuts, and dark/brown bread; with light notes of molasses, dark fruit, smoke, herbal hops, and yeast earthiness. Mild herbal/roasted bitterness; and bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very creamy, silky, velvety, bready malts; light sticky hop, chalky roast, and oak tannins in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter/tannic dryness; no cloying/acrid. Minimal warming 8.7%, dangerously smooth. Amazing balanced rich malts, vanilla beans, and maple/bourbon barrel presence/integration. Essentially KBS/CBS "light". Top tier stuff as expected. 4.35

    Lol, I used to play in a general business band called Glad Tidings! The singer in the band was the brother of "The Big Ragu" Eddie Mecca from Laverne and Shirley.

    I thought it was incredibly benign and forgettable.

    Theses are great fresh, or aged. This was my first beer I hunted, now I can get it local. I've officially got my longest running vertical of any beers.... 2015-2018.

    Their IPAs are unfiltered but often clear, incredibly hoppy but still bitter. Man I'm a huge homer for Beer'd. Glad you enjoyed it! :grinning:
