    Had this on tap at Karbach last night. Just a fantastic beer.

    Now that it's in cans, I think it will be my go-to double IPA as long as they keep pumping it out fresh.

    I guess if anyone is curious - first batch is canned 4/29. Woohoo for not having it sit at distro centers for a month or so like last time!

    It doesn't taste like it was canned on 4/29. :slight_frown:

    I am not getting that at all. I recall it taking over two weeks to get the bombers out last year and being disappointed by it, even though it was still very good. This batch is phenomenal and I cannot think of a single way to improve on this. I wish this were a year-round offering.

    Drinking this more, I would say that this is what I remember last year's Enjoy By 4/20/14 tasting like from Stone. Bright on the front, dank and sticky on the back. This stuff is dangerous. I could put 4 down easily.... and be of no use to my wife and children for the rest of the night.

    I will stop at 2.

    Need to give this a whirl tonight.

    Hope it's as good as previous releases.

    It is now isn't it?

    Also, can someone tell me if they changed the hop profile this time? I only remember there being Mosaic and Simcoe last year but shit if I know.

    based on this non-updated description, my guess is last year was not just Mosaic and Simcoe

    Guess I just read the top portion that mentioned dry hopping with mosaic and since and not the "geek stats"
