    I haven't seen it anywhere but in another thread I read someone mentioned it was on tap at the Yardhouse.

    Whats the word, beergeekarinos?

    Is this batch as good as the last one?

    I'm from lower New York, I have to do some searching.

    Bought a sixpack yesterday in MD. Never had it before...tasty but a little too boozy for me (i know, I know it IS a strong ale). Put my name in to reserve a case of Sucks (or whatever it will be called)....that is my favorite Lagunitas

    It's been out for awhile now. My friend who works for a distributor says that what is on the shelves now is all that's left.

    I got a six pack awhile back.. at first i liked it but with each passing bottle i'm liking it less and less... seems to be a one or two beer kind of beer for me.. not something i need a six pack of : /

    decent brew though, just a bit much with the brown suggar.. but if that's your bag you'll love this beer probably, esp if you like other Lag offerings

    Tastes like Hop Stoopid. Not too good...

    It's plentiful in Northern Virginia.

    I was ambivalent toward this beer after the first couple. But by the end of the 6-pack (drunk over about a 2-3 week period) I really grew to enjoy it. I don't taste the amount of sweetness as others and so it wasn't what I expected (maybe that's why I was confused after the first bottle or two). And I can't detect the 9.99% ABV.

    To me, it really is unique...I put it in a category with Bell's this one goes to 11. I probably wouldn't buy more of 6-12 of these a year, but I'd buy them again. And Lagunitas, as always, was a really great value.

    Ive only had one bottle one time in feb 2011, which I guess was the late 2010 batch. I liked it a lot but I wouldnt want to drink more than 2 in one sitting as it was heavy and sweer as hell.

    Lagunitas is weird for me, I like their IPA and Hop Stoopid but am not really crazy about any of their other offerings.

    I guess you don't get out that often - you're in Yonkers so go over to the Yard House and check it out or check their website. And it's all over the place at beer distributors. Try Foodtown in Yonkers as well.

    Been had it in Virginia. Local pizza place had it on tap for quite some time. I drank my fill of it. It was ok, glad I tried it.

    Had it on draft in RI a couple weeks ago but I actually haven't seen it in bottle form, at least in my area. It was pretty decent but not one of my favorites.

    Had a bottle for the first time and thought it was pretty good, a very Lagunitasy beer. If you like their hop profile, I feel like you'd like this beer.
