    Tried it on draft the other day, and it was a good bitter IPA, but yea no signs of coconut unfortunately...

    I had it a month ago in Chicago, no coconut then either. It's okay. Not great. Just another IPA. Nothing stood out for me. I also had it in the middle of the month, same thing the second time. Don't go out of you way for it.

    Bought a bottle at E1G. Looking forward to the non-Coconutness.

    I had it at the brewery a month ago, and there was no sign of coconut. If it wasn't perceivable at the source, I doubt it ever was. Solid IPA regardless, just nothing worth going out of your way for.

    For reasons I don't know, Deshutes has a worse time getting TABC label approval than almost anyone else. It's the main reason it's been such an agonizing process to get Abyss, Disident, Black Butte Reserve, etc. Hell, we never even saw "Chasing Freshies" down here.

    I think it's because Austin has pissed off Oregon by using a very similar catch phrase to "Keep Portland Weird".

    Found the R&R to be a solid IPA. No coconut, as many others have noticed as well.

    I am just wondering if the long stay at the warehouse is noticeable.

    Less hoppy I suppose but not a malt bomb.
