    Not quite PtY but this is a f-ing amazing triple IPA.

    I'd love to do a side by side next February

    Thoughts?

    The first one I had my wife sat next to me and asked if I was drinking OJ! It is superb fresh. Haven't had younger but would like to do a comparison myself.

    Really great brew! I've had more than a couple myself. Really tasty.

    Had one bottle which I enjoyed immensely. Huge bitter hop experience.

    I haven't had the Younger yet (hoping to catch it without having to wait in a long line) but this was probably my favorite Double/Triple IPA I've had. I would love to revisit soon.

    For the simple fact you don't have to wait in line to drink it, Simtra all day. Younger is a great experience and better by a small margin.

    I'm just glad they bottle date now. This beer is very tasty fresh. I accidentally got a six month batch once. That was another story.

    Knee deep makes some incredible beers . Simtra is my go-to, It's easy to find and is consistantly fresh. The one in my fridge was bottled 5/07/13. Hoping it brings me some luck while salmon fishing this weekend

    How is it a Triple IPA if it is not even DOUBLE the alcohol of a normal IPA?

    So its should be triple the alcohol of an IPA? Like at least 15% ABV??????? :confused:

    Haven't tried it yet because of the over $10 price tag.

    Agree with all y'all! Love that it's bottle dated and even at $9.99, it's fantastic! A very enjoyable beer indeed. Was bummed yesterday that while they had it at the WF 20% sale, it was from late March. I'm sure it was still good but I opted for some much fresher Hoptoligist.

    I wish it wasn't so damn pricy. I take 2 Pliny any day over Simtra. Simtra is nice though

    I completely agree, this beer fresh is AMAZEBALLS and has become one of my daily staples when I'm on that IPA kick. It does fall off fast tho, get it within the 1st two weeks to really appreciate it. Knee Deep really does hoppy beers well and I hear they are going to do 4X versions of all their recipes soon. I hope they keep at it because the 4X Hopoholic still needs some tweaking but I would definitely love to try a 4X version of Simtra.

    Man, I've never though anything by Knee Deep was any better than "this is okay" and some of it was pretty bad. I'll take Drake's over them all day.

    Simtra is a very nice beer, I prefer Notorious though.
