    Congrats, it sounds like you found somebody else to mail some ace out to the burbs!

    edit: also that's two shots in two days, what gives!??!

    It's pretty clear who holds the power in this relationship.

    I mean you seriously thought someone from Massachusetts didn't know the difference between white and red clam chowder? Plus you're in the exact age range to know Ace Ventura.

    Tdh ace and tdh citra daydream are amazing. Takes me back to when I had both of the original base beers. OH dialed it back in for these two

    Agreed with @Justonemore91- the TDH ACE I poured tonight is amazing, one of OH's best in a while. Super dank, feel like I'm sucking on some bitter hop candy. Distinct from recent offerings with their melon-forward profiles (also felt this way about All Roads Lead to DIPA which I tried in taproom today, though that's not quite the banger this one is).

    Don't disagree at all that it will be tasty, and maybe even more so, in a week or whenever. But anyone who grabbed a 4pk that's worried about hop burn shouldn't hold off on account of that particular problem IMO.

    Agree TDH ACE is good...but what’s with the hop burn? I’ve never gotten that from any OH beer before?

    His "problem" is that he's too nice and eager to help everyone no matter their affiliation. I suppose it's an occasional liability in the trivial power struggle between regional message board posters, but we are all better for that rare example in the end.:slight_smile:

    That was also the golden age of PC games. So many great games from this time!

    Yeah, this is how I described it to Andrew too. There's still a clear sweetness (but OH has always been sweet), it just comes off as a candied hoppy flavor (though not gummi bears!) I had a MoMo while I was there and thought the same.

    I like (most of) our new regional pals! I'm also typically slow on the uptake for jokes/references :slight_frown:

    Yeah, it's been a long time. I think their goal for a few years has been to smooth/soften it as much as possible so it's easier to drink sooner and I think they got to a point where it's been pretty dang smooth relative to others. I think they've mentioned tweaking some aspects of the process over the last few weeks like spending less time on the centrifuge for an (intended) impact on mouthfeel.

    Here to agree TDH ACE is tasty, although I prefer the OG.

    How are people feeling about a meetup? Some time over the next month and a half or so? Fri/Sat/Sun options?

    And what are opinions on BK vs Domino Park?

    Yes.

    I’m fully vaccinated as of this weekend, but would still prefer outdoors - so Domino Park?
