    Yeah, I thought it came out perfect in Hop Deluge. With that amount of melon though, I notice less of the hop flavors. It could be Citra/Mosaic or Cascade and Chinook for all I know.

    Quoting myself @RauchbierFan33 style, but this was a rare instance of me being serious in this thread (fine fine, semi-serious). Drinking is a perfectly valid reason to want to leave a car in a parking lot overnight and Uber home. Pricing is also a good reason for what may seem to others an odd choice.

    Speaking of which, for those peckerheads questioning why not just Uber there too, what if @Sorithin et al. are visiting something on the opposite side of OHFLX from where they are staying and driving all the way back to where they are staying, then Ubering to OHFLX, just doesn't work with the timing of the day and opening hours of OHFLX?

    I wasnt planning on drinking that many triples. I was just meeting up with my car club to show off the new exhaust I put on my dodge neon and see what my crew has been up to with their rides. Some haze was just a bonus.

    100% I'm worried about leaving it there overnight, but I can't afford to lose my license to drive this beauty around.

    Also I'm loving the amount of ACE around town.

    This recent batch of ACE was very nice. Any other thoughts on this batch of FS? I recall one its awful and one what are you talking about

    otherhalfnyc We didn't get to gather in person for Green City this year, but we've still had a lot of fun with our bud @catboy_ going on an adventure with Broccoli Boy. Order this beer starting at 9am Saturday morning and #staytuned to see where he goes next for his adventures before the end of the summer...⁠
    ⁠
    Broccoli World Imperial IPA (8.2%) Packed with enough Citra, Galaxy, Motueka and El Dorado to crush a level boss. We built this imperial IPA upon a base of pils malt with generous amounts of flaked and malted oats to provide a silky smooth mouthfeel. We also level upped this flagrantly hopped IPA with Citra Cryo and Incognito. $20 per 4 pack. ⁠
    ⁠
    Ordering will go live tomorrow, Saturday, starting at 9am through Curbside Pickup only, link in bio. Please make sure to wear a mask and maintain social distancing if you're not picking up in a car. Please wait for confirmation email that your order is ready for pickup!

    I got online right now to ask the same question! Just cracked the vapor ringz and there’s the melon. Wasn’t there in past VR drops. So.. brewer nerds.. this is a yeast thing? Every HDHC beer tasted like this right out the gate, and I’m not a fan of this.

    I have a feeling it’s citra incognito being used in all their new beers, but I’m no brewer so what do I know?

    Thinking the plan is the new broccoli and go with the flow. If you think I should grab something else speak up now!

    Really enjoying Broccoli World. It's delicious. Smooth as hell too.

    They wound up sending up a handful of 4-packs to Rock Center ...and I noticed the update just in time.

    Id think it would be in the water/salts/temps/procedure rather than ingredients. I taste it in almost all of there beers lately. I asked one of the brewers a couple months ago and he didnt seem to have an answer.
    Treehouse had the same thing a couple years ago. Everyone complained of all of the beer tasting like melons and then complained again when it disappeared.

    OH has expanded shipping to NH of all places. Slightly random. OH owner/employee from there? Or is that a state with less red tape to cut through in order to be able to ship to? Or does this just show that some light sycophancy pays dividends?

    Believe the latter (“less red tape”/relaxed licensing), as Equilibrium and the Veil have been shipping beer there as well

    Red tape, they are the Live Free or Die state, Threes also added NH.

    yeah, pretty sure it is this, as Equilibrium specifically stated that it was less hassle to ship here than the other New England states. Anyway, they all get enough good beer anyway, nice to see some more coming to NH! Though not a fan of the predetermined case, hopefully that part goes away in the future.

    As per red tape, it's the Live Free Or Die state. Didn't all the libertarians move there in 2008 or so?

    God I miss dropping by the taproom for cans, a pint, and a sampler of a too-sweet-stout.

    What's hot on the current lineup? Didn't see to be much convo around Can't See Me. I know there's quite a few Broccoli-heads around here, anybody got tasting notes? I've worked through my early July binge buying and looking to be sold on something new!
