    +1 on Daisy Cutter, if we got it here (CO). We don't - so I fill up on it when visiting Chicago... or when I can smuggle it back. Otherwise, all the others already mentioned. Regionally, Dale's is probably our best option.

    Another vote for SNPA. If it was alcohol free and had the very same taste I'd pound those suckers all day, every day the way I do Coke Zero.

    True, I also find this true for Lagunitas Pale Ale.

    "Pungent mosaic hops" is the best way I would describe the dominant flavor. Take that as you will.

    Easy one for me, Maine MO. And yes, it is always available around here, unlike Lunch.

    I had it recently, and I did pick up on a vaguely onion-y, vegetal flavor, but I just equate that flavor to how a lot of wet hop ales taste, which I really like. Maybe pick up a can in a mix-sixer to give it a test drive.

    Would love to try Grunion, but the price drives me away every time. I would say Fist City, with Lizard King hot on its tail.

    I haven't had the new one. Why do you prefer the original? Are they very different?
