    I enjoyed it, but I'm a fan of the style.

    The new Suburb cans that dropped today are super on point. Hopped up and hazed out. Super tasty!

    I did get both. They're both great, possibly the best cans to date. I tried mixing about 5oz of each together as well. I highly recommend if you have the means!

    I will definitely try that!

    However, Don't think it could possibly beat the time I mixed a 2013 bcbs with a 2014 VR both which I accidentally opened christmas eve when I was wasted and fell asleep 5 mins later. It was flat to all hell but best mix of all time.

    You were not kidding. These suburb batches are phenomenal. Citra is the better of the two IMO but Mosaic is very good as well. I did just mix a few oz of each and it was killer.

    I concur, Citra is the better one of the two. But it's like deciding which Lamborghini you're going to drive, either way it's all winning.

    I'm a little surprised no one has bumped this thread but drinking my first Jump in the Line...interesting beer. I get a dank/vegetal smell and taste and a lime presence, lots of citrus. Little hit of melon there too. The color is straw yellow, very nice. It's not quite Don't Sweat the Technique right out of the gate, but at only 4 days old I wouldn't be surprised if it takes another week or 2 for this to really hit its stride.

    I've had a shitty cold all week and cant taste anything but I cannot wait for it to clear up so I can have my first can.

    Yeah that Citra is really nice! Juicy and crushable.

    I was told the batch brewed at barrier will be a week or two away.

    Jump in the line is very good. Gonna have to go grab another 4 pack on Wednesday.

    Yeah I went on Saturday and had it on draft. Great beer. Bought a 4-pack to go and had my first can last night - even better than I remembered

    Sipping on a glass of Tanto and I must say I was expecting a hazy/juicy/soft juice bomb but this is quite dank and just faintly hazy with a juicy note on the back end. Very well made!

    I had the first batch of Tanto cans and didn't care for it - too juicy like a NEIPA (hate them). Didn't get anything dank at all.
