    I don't expect this to be particularly hard to find, but just wanted to see if anyone has seen it around yet.

    It was on tap at Big Hunt last week, but I couldn't make it over there. Word was that bottles were supposed to start hitting stores this week.

    Bottles were in WV last week.
    It's a big boozy sweet mess I'm afraid.

    Can't wait to try this one. About to brew an IPA with Mosaic myself. Would like to try a commercial example first.

    I had it at big hunt last week on tap while in dc and I couldn't disagree more. Had two and thought the alcohol was totally hidden and the hop aroma and flavor were top notch. My wife also enjoyed it and agreed it was up there in terms of iipas we've had

    Currently on tap at the Lewiston Village Pub where I work at. For a beer with high alcohol percentage, the alcohol did not make its presence known. It sneaks up on you after you finish a whole mug of this beer though. The smell has a nice hoppy scent to it and the strength of the hops in the taste did not compare to the strength of smell. Overall, a very enjoyable beer if it was to be drank as only one pint.

    Anyone seen bottles in DC yet? I was going to go for a beer run on my lunch break today to try to find some.
