    Does anyone know how they code this beer. My bottle says "Bottled 1N 20126 23:33"

    It tasted pretty bad.

    Don't have my secret decoder ring, but "20126" looks like June, 2012 to me. If not, then DFH needs a better bottle dating scheme.

    I've had 75 Minute fresh and found it to be pretty lackluster. I'd rather DFH bring back Squall.

    On their web site it sats that for seasonals it is the year and batch number. That would be 2012 batch 6 but not sure how late in the year it would be. By their site it is released Jan/Feb and July/Aug. Your beer is at least 8 mos old.

    Me thinks you got a dead one.

    I don't think I'll post my review until I get a fresh one.

    Fresh it is quite nice. Not a hop bomb but the bottle conditioning gives it a very soft mouthfeel. The maple is subtle. Good one to split.
