    I agree that this was muddled, with the coconut, banana & vanilla conspiring to add a strong suntan lotion vibe that was NOT very agreeable.

    Hop Butcher's milkshakes can be very, very good, but this one missed the mark for me.

    the strawberry was very much there in HSC. thought it was a really really nice touch in addition to everything else. loved this beer, might have ranked higher than BOM for me.

    I second this. Reminded me of one of those fruity drinks you get at a Caribbean resort. Probably my second favorite HB milkshake behind BO/DBO.

    I think what is being said - the Blazed Orange regular (black text / non-milkshake) become a hazy IPA in the later iterations .

    Value of Midnight is good, but I had a decent amount of sediment in my first can. Hopefully it’s the only one.

    I believe first batch came out in February of 2017 with Unwind Your Mind’s first batch. I vaguely remember the first batch having orange in it but I could be wrong. I do remember being significantly disappointed in that beer as it was super metallic and like the picture quoted extremely un-NEIPA looking. This was when HB was getting a ton of shit for putting new-England style IPA on their beers and that not being really true. Obviously that has changed but man I remember being bummed after tasting Galaxy Bowl batch 1 in fall of 2016 and their beers faltering after.

    God I’m a fricken nerd.

    Do we know what is coming out this week? Someone told me it was supposed to be BOM, but it was too flat.
