    Yeah, that was great, but that alone didn't put them anywhere near the heights that they are at now IMO.

    I agree, I just meant they had some good stuff before, so maybe that's why they won this "comeback" award from whoever gave it to them. The other "awards" your proposed certainly work, though.

    I guess this is how exciting the beer world is right now post-holidays and post-stout season (or at least a pause in it)...we're debating hypothetical awards.

    Looks like neon green has dropped at a few places.

    Pretty easy to get a 4 pack this afternoon. Probably a large batch of Neon Green. Popped one in the fridge for later this evening.

    I cannot determine whether I should buy this based on your post.

    Please be a true beer advocate: shotgun one warm, and report back.

    Particularly interested in subtle transitions between front- and mid- palate.

    Is this one of those “in person trades” with a “small extra?”

    It’s drinking pretty good right out of the gate. I can’t compare it to other recent HB beers because I wasn’t able to get any. Full bodied, super creamy with a touch of sweetness. There really isn’t anything that stands out. Not sure why they went with relish in the name, more of a tropical vibe going on. A little bit of a not quite ripe banana after taste. Happy I was able to get a 4 pack.

    I’ll let @PhilBallins give you the front - mid palate...
