    Terrible photo but I gotta say, @Sixpoint this is the best small batch IPA so far. Once again regretting only picking up a 6-pack considering how fast I drank this can. I'll be out of the country for the next release, but I appreciate the invites and I'm looking forward to meeting you all at a future release/ meetup (with nicer weather, biking to Red Hook today was cold!)

    Undefined Variable is pretty awesome. Great representation of Galaxy, balanced out by other hops. Fantastic beer, wish I bought more of it. Creamy deliciousness now. Even the can without beer smells great.

    undefined variable !== null; with my tastebuds. please make this a regular/repeat offering. beer tastes amazing along with the name and can design.

    My one gripe is that you need to close the <smooth> tag on the label. throwing an error on my machine.

    Should be:
    <head>
    <smooth body big aroma></smooth>
    </head>

    I'd create a ticket in JIRA but don't currently have access.

    Hard to believe no Trillium Fort Point Pale Ale on that list...

    Thought same thing, but I am assuming they didn't participate.

    Given these Paste series are blind and the tasters seem to be pretty good at this, its great to see Sixpoint scoring well with Hootie. Congrats!!

    Im not savvy enough to post screenshots from the app on here, but the new release is posted on the app and it looks fantastic! Can't wait to try the Wild Raspy!

    Were the smoothies on tap at the last release party? Anyone try 'em?

    They weren't on tap, but Wild Raspy is going to be awesome, I can say that.

    Can we fast forward to the 19th already? Need that Raspy! Excited to try Smoothie too because I missed out on it the first time around

    Is the upcoming Smoothie a totally different beer from the Smoothie at the first release? It was definitely drinkable, but I hope that there's been some big adjustments.

    Seconded.

    Seconded on Raspy as well. I imagine this go-around of Smoothie will be different than the first go around, based on how UV/Posse are and given that Eric has his fingers in the pot this time.

    I don't believe any of the beers featured this time around were actually on tap at the last release, but we did offer some a sneak preview of the Wild Raspy. As you probably noticed already, this is our very first bottle release, as everything has been in a 6-pack of 12oz sleek cans up until this point.

    The beers being offered in May are worlds apart from any other release we've done up until this point, even if there is a similar/shared name with prior beers. But, rather than talk positively about the beers that have yet to be canned, I'll just let the product speak for itself and we'll resume our conversation afterwards. @RobNewton :wink:

    You also have plenty of flunkies to do the talking for you :stuck_out_tongue:

    Call me (not for the first time) a contrarian, but I think I prefer posse to undefined variable, but I'm sitting on some cans to see how they develop.

    Undefined Variable is fantastic stuff, I was going to say that my only complaint was that it tasted a tad thinner than I'd like. But I had my first can after an Other Half Oat Cream DIPA, so I think that affected my taste buds.
