    It's probably my favorite HB triple to date. Has a hop bite and melon notes. Nose is great. Kind of makes me think its what equilibrium beers should taste like.

    I think you are spot on. I just think most people can't wait.

    Every HB stout I've tried has been really good, but none have been great. Test Your Might was my favorite. Great value for sure. Although I really don't get the hype for Fat Bear. It's good, but I still see people trading for it 6 months after it was brewed.
    The last batch of I Want To Believe was my favorite HB IPA (other than maybe BOM). I don't think my love for the can art affected my opinion. I didn't manage to snag any of this batch though.

    The Way In Total Daylight is a wonderland of aroma and deeply saturated hop flavors. A little hop bite on the backend but should be whispering sweet nothings in a week or two.

    The Kolsch on the other hand made me a bit sad.

    Little too experimental for me but certainly drinkable.

    Having trouble posting a picture, but does anyone else’s Throop have chunks of white stuff in the bottom of the glass?

    Made the mistake of opening Throop after day drinking on DT Kolsch and Kolschbock...

    I've finally kicked the habit. They used to always get me with the enticing descriptions but they never panned out.
