    2 month old IPA? not the freshest!

    Using super fresh as the control for each, it would be interesting to compare the hop degradation of a 2-month old canned IPA/DIPA vs a 1-month old bottled IPA/DIPA. I'd probably put my money on the can tasting fresher.

    I have zero experience with this particular brew.

    I've had year old Abrasive and it was still great. Depends on how its stored. There was another canning last week so there might be another "wave" that hits there in a few weeks.

    Couldn't wait. Placed an order with France 44 last month. Abrasive is worth the price.

    Drank one today canned 1/14 and it was fantastic.

    I had one of the 1/14 yesterday and it was pretty damn good. Been a good beer week for me. I currently have Lunch, Another One, Zombie Dust and Abrasive in my fridge. Yay hops.

    Ya. Chicago is pretty insane right now. I've had a NvU, HopsSlam, Sucks, Abrasive, Lunch, Heyoka, ZD, Anti Hero, and HiRes all in the last two weeks. Can't be another region in the country who can top that distro

    I'd respectfully add the offerings of Maine Beer Co. and Ale Asylum and rest comfortably in the beer heaven that I call 'home.'

    I think Abrasive might be better than ZD. Maybe.
