    This stuff just keeps growing on me. Damn wicked stuff. Can have 2-3 and not feel like shite.
    Guess I need to order some appropriate TRVE glassware, however.

    I don't want to start a NON_favorite IPA thread, but the latest version of WW Steambarrel IPA (7.1%, late May canning, Lotus/Simcoe) is a total miss. Maybe the first beer from WW that I could not drink. Anyone else have that experience, or... it was just weird. Hard to describe.

    I know Crooked Stave ipa has been called into question a bit, but elbow fives is hot fire.

    The new Upslope Experimental IPA (w/ orange blossom honey) is really good. Bought some 2 weeks ago and it was bone dry. Good, but not as much going on as expected. As a little more time has passed, it has opened up and I can actually get a little bit of sweetness and additional flavors on the back end. Like a super hoppy version of Mtn. Sun's Big Krane.

    Odell IPA is the first thing that came to mind.

    TRVE. Tunnel of Trees. Period.
    I'm an idiot for not drinking more TRVE sooner.
    Facts.

    I know I’ve gushed over Zonker... aaaand I know its not Colorado, but have y’all tried Earned It from Snake River?

    Its a pretty typical hazy boi.. tastes just like the rest of them, but its inexpensive and fresh so ya bois happy with it. Certainly worth a try.

    I tried another excellent one from Westbound & Down this weekend - True West WCIPA. Light and crisp, and I had it side by side with MindBender from Cannonball Creek and it held up well.

    I'll be picking up more of this in the coming week, and the fact that proceeds go to charity (NAACP) also sweetens the deal even a little bit more.

    We’re in Glenwood and stopped at the Casey taproom downtown last night... had a couple sours, which my babe predictably loved, but also had Cameo and Quiet Storm. Both hazy and both incredible... the latter being even better imo even though it was a double.

    Really nice spot if anyone is ever in the area I would highly suggest it

    this one's pretty nice, been awhile since I had one but it said "Buy me" on the cooler shelf, this evening, and I did.

    Every Comrade DIPA has been killer and that's not even a style I normally love.

    If you enjoy big'uns at this time of year, and I typically don't - New Image More Fun Than a Pillow Fight (D-T?IPA) at 9.5% is KILLER.
    Dense, citric, grapefruit, tangerine dank-juice for the soul.
    If you don't like heavy beers, pass, but otherwise? Maybe the best DIPA verging on TIPA I've had in 5-6 months.

    New Image has been cranking out bangers that somehow seem to fly under the radar. Coriolis Effect is a staple in my fridge and their four-packs are on constant rotation.
