    Awesome! False Hope might be the best wheat wine name in the history of beer.

    Perfect.

    The rye and wheat wines sound amazing. Great box!

    Well deserved and a fantastic box. I love JA Framinghammer series. Actually if my target ever reads this thread he should know I am sending the Peanut Butter and Jelly version of that series(raspberriesand peanuts), a really great brew.

    You're forcing my hand here.

    Consider me in. They don’t call it The Great Beer State for nothing.

    Repost from NBS in case anyone misses it. Couldn't wait, cracked my mystery can from @bl00. First sniff on cracking the can says lager. Pours clear, bright yellow straw with a finger or so of pearly white, quickly receding head. Effervescent and bubbly on the tongue. Taste is light citrus/grapefruit, moderate malt backbone, probably a Helles. Finishes a bit hoppy though, possibly Vic? I'm gonna say it's an IPL. It's an agreeable lager, pretty refreshing!

    Opening the top secret envelope reveals that it was Spectral Focus:

    Thanks @bl00, that was fun!

    Sir, General Balls, sir, a quad-unit of the requested munitions have been acquired, and will be forwarded to your base post-haste. Philly base cocked up and needs to procure an appropriate shipping container. With rogue agent @thebeers slipping in and out in the night, extra precautions are necessary.

    Best of luck in the upcoming battle.

    Maybe, but it's more likely for the guys in the Philly/Lancaster area. I'll check around here.

    Got hit in a big way by the generous @Blackop555 - here's the box with fat cat for scale[​IMG]
    So excited! Starting off with some stickers that will go on the beer fridge and a couple pins (my girlfriend loves buttons/pins)
    [​IMG]
    Then we got some REAL maple syrup! Don't see much of that around here, yummmmm[​IMG]
    Now the real reason we're here, the BEER!
    First out come the hops
    2 Upper Hand, 2 Odd Side (both new breweries for me) and what is probably my favorite IPA these days, a super duper fresh Boss Tweed!! WOOO!!!
    [​IMG]
    Up next comes - holy shit, a 2016 Abyss! I've only ever had the scotch barrel variant, can't wait to see how this has aged![​IMG]
    And then I find some New Glarus! Only had Spotted Cow before, and I've always wanted to get my hands on their sours. Cran-bic, Strawberry Rhubarb, and Raspberry Tart [​IMG][​IMG]
    Up next we got a Pigeon Hall Your Mom on French Toast, saw this one posted by @Blackop555 in this thread the other day, and was hoping I'd get to try it, sounds really good.
    [​IMG]
    And finally to round this amazing box off we got a Dragon's Milk variant I've never had, the Mocha Milk, and a Central Waters BBA Stout that's a new tick for me.
    [​IMG]
    Simply glorious box, you hit on all my favorite styles and with new breweries I can't wait to dive into. Hard to believe there's more coming. Thanks so much! Gonna be tough to decide what to bust open for NBS today. First world problems.

    Cheers everybody!
