    How is it? I'm hoping it is similar to the Imperial Red from last year.

    Just got back from a bit of a tasting down at J. Ryan's in Syracuse, which included a few local BAs (syracusebeernerd, skrek806, bentonquest, and myself). And it was a lot of fun, with a few good sours . . .

    Perennial Savant Beersel
    The Bruery Smoking Wood
    The Bruery Sour in the Rye
    The Bruery Fruet
    The Beer Diviner Ancient Gruit Ale
    KBS 2011 & 2013
    Surly Abrasive
    Ithaca Brute (2010)

    First, Abrasive is a world-class DIPA. Second, Sour in the Rye was fantastic. Third, 2013 KBS was waaaaay better than 2011 KBS—why would anyone want the coffee to go away? Fourth, Brute and Savant were excellent, and the latter has a really, really unique, tannic character that works incredibly well. But Brute was just excellent, through and through.

    Saude, galera!

    Now enjoying a Boston Lager with homemade pizza (courtesy of the wife). Something about the combination of a Boston Lager and pizza is so simple, yet so good.

    Starting with a light side brew, surely will move to the dark side as the night progresses...

    It's good, has that standard Lagunitas hop profile. The imperial red last year was much more piney...at least thats what i remember. This kinda reminds me of undercover but not as strong and more drinkable.
