    I would feel bad because I was lucky enough to be one of the first people in line to try the cherry version, but you got to buy MD so... :stuck_out_tongue:

    I'd say don't miss out on good in the pursuit of great. It will never be perfect but this would cut WAY down on one opportunity to scam the system in a very big way. If you have aunts and uncles willing to do this for you then you're luckier than I am and more power to you.

    I bet if you won that lottery you'd find a way to get over to the DMV before 1/13!! Or just use you're old address and keep the ID that way until 1/13. Either way problem solved.

    From the stories I've been hearing about the release, it's gonna end up making people a new level of angry. Enjoy boys!

    Same guy that had inside stories about Mike and had some King Sue overnighted?

    Oh good, the I have inside information (which has turned out to be wrong several times) guy is back. That's great! :rolling_eyes:

    You mean the guy that kept claiming that and then not one thing he said was correct?

    Disappointed by latest bottles of SOSUS and Hopsmack. Neither are hazy like the previous batches.

    First batch of Hopsmack from exactly a year ago was outstanding. Reminded me of the original King Sue.

    This year was my first time having Hopsmack and I wasn't blown away by it. I thought the problem was that I drank it on election night so nothing tasted good...

    Had it on draft last night and it was every bit as hazy as that second picture and really tasty. I did bring home some bottles but haven't opened one yet.

    I didn't mind the most recent batch of Hopsmack but it definitely wasn't the same as the last time.

    Had Hopsmack in CR at Parlor City and it was utterly atrocious. Me thinks there was a tap line issue, so I won't call the beer itself terrible.

    You sure it wasn't Biter?

    Ugh I'm an idiot, yes it was Biter. I keep mixing them up. Biter was not good. I've still yet to try a Hopsmack.

    Hopsmack on draft yesterday was tasty and looked hazy like the second picture. Have bottles of it and Sosus and will have to report back once opened. Termoil VC was freaking fantastic, BA Abraxas w/o the pepper addition.

    Opened a bottle of Sosus yesterday(picked up from Brewery on Saturday) it was rather clear....still tasted good though....have seen various photos on Untapped that show both a slightly hazy version and the clearer version such as mine. Still have two bottle though so we will see if there is any difference between bottles.

    What's more important? Haze or taste? Does one affect the other? Is one a product of the other?
