    Who has had it this year? Did you happen to notice that it's not very good? It's red in color, rather than the brown that we have seen for years, and it shows with a much lighter palate from start to finish. It seems like a shell was what it once was. I'm really surprised that New Belgium would release such a weak blend.

    Bummer. Never had it but just picked up 2 bottles based on reviews. Hope my bottles are better. Maybe you got a bad bottle?

    Enjoy

    I recently had a new bottle and was not disappointed.

    I don't think it was a bad bottle. The flavors were there, but in a watered down fashion and the color was just too light. It tasted fine, it was just lacking a lot compared to the batches I've had ('06-current)

    I was going to pick up a few tomorrow at my local. May wait now and just get some Rhodenbach.
