    Starting to think the first batch of Mosaic was just Mo' Shuggie all along.

    (Yes, I know Mo' Shuggie is all New Zealand hops. But come on, that thing is a Mosaic bomb.)

    Not shocked. I'm still surprised they decided to go printed cans with Forever Ever - not only is there not much demand for session IPAs, but Forever Ever isn't close to their best one.

    Agreed, I almost went back up and asked if there was a mixup. OG Mosaic was so good, I really hope they can figure out to make it like that again

    This last batch of Citra was pretty close to the old mosaic. Wonder if it was a batch variation or if they are changing recipes.

    I agree that i preferred Small Green, and maybe its not as amazing as other beers, but Forever Ever is still a pretty solid everyday kind of beer

    Yea I mean, it's fine for sure. I was just surprised they chose that as a beer for printed cans, since I didn't think there'd be as much demand for it. And that's proven to be pretty true given how much is left over. There's just not much demand for sessions in general. Add to that the fact that you have a ton of people that these releases from NJ who can just hop over to Carton and get Boat without much trouble on a semi-regular basis, and you have a recipe for this kind of thing. I wonder if the extra beer will hit distro?

    do you really not understand the issue? it's not that people are just trying to harsh your buzz, brah. all it takes is one dick cop having a bad day or one person mouthing off to a cop, and the release is shut down.
