    Oil of Olay had a fragrance taste for me. It reminded me of Echo. It was just okay. Not the style for me. Echo and Oil was my least favorite from Casa so far. But nothing terribly bad from these guys. Western and Frontier are at the top. Especially Western after a couple of weeks old.The next 4 looks interesting. Even the rice lager La Locura.

    Has anyone from Nevada ordered from Casa Agria? I know they ship to NV. Asking for a buddy in Henderson.

    I’m in Henderson and have been receiving shipments from them last couple months. Definitely works!

    Thx. Good to know. Next time I’m in town I’ll message you. When this C19 is over. But never over. I’ll buy you a beer at Zombies.

    Yea once. It’s alright. Pretty average. Love Lady is across the street and is similar quality although I probably like it a tad more.

    If you ever see an older Hawaiian dude at either place That’s my bud and co worker. He goes by the name Chuck, or the Flyin’ Hawaiian. He’s already made himself known to the owners and brewer at Mojave. So I’m sure he’ll be a regular their. And he’s always bringing cans and bottles back from LA. He’s also a regular at Naja’s when he’s back at LAX working.

    Enjoying this latest drop a lot. Solid Rice Lager. 4 high quality IPAs. Had the lowest expectations for Inca Road but that may be my favorite. Mouth Movement is exceptional too though. Shadow’s On the Sun and Transitions and Transitions and Interludes are also great.

    New IPAs up on the site. I had "when the sun hits" a couple years back and to this day is 1 of the best hazies I've ever had. Really blew me away and opened my eyes up to Casa. Ordered some and hope this is the heat from that 1st batch I had!

    That sapparo clone surprised me as hell. Just ordered another 4 of that. Inca was very very good and transitions was nice as well . Haven't had mouth yet or shadow but those will be destroyed tonight!

    La Locura, rice lager, really growing on me. So dry and clean. Drinking it side by side with Brouwerij West Popfuji and I’m preferring Locura quite a bit.

    Planning to do a blind tasting of the 3 latest IPAs later today, excited for that!

    Grabbed the IPAs, but man I can't bring myself to buy a 4 pack of pastry stout. Must not make sense for them, but a one can option on that bad boy would be niiiice.

    All the reviews that I read as far as that beer goes was pretty highly rated so I could justify paying the four pack for that. I mean how can you go wrong with coffee peanut butter and maple syrup?

    I had Soonday Dream yesterday and it was damn delicious. I am very impressed with the couple beers I've tried from them so far. Excited to try more.

    I get that $8 for a 16oz non ba is pricey, b/c it is.
    But I can confirm the first two batches were impressive. B1 was more well rounded, b2 was more pb & coffee - subtle maple.

    Certainly glad to try a new batch

    Last case I ordered from them included Mouth Movement, Shadow on the Sun, and Transitions and Interludes. Mouth Movment and Shadow were fantastic, Transitions wasn't fantastic. Took a shot on this latest release of IPA since 2/3rds of the last order were great.

    Shipment #4 from Casa just ordered, and I have not been disappointed yet. Been enjoying their IPAs (and even that rice lager). Looking forward to what they do with the pastry stout - though 4 cans may be a bit much.

    Excited for this new release. Last round I still loved everything but it was a little underwhelming compared to some prior IPAs. I ranked it Soonday Dream > When the Sun Hits > Fresh Jets. I put it completely on ABV lines. Casa’s galaxy hasn’t wowed me. It’s nitpicking but every IPA with galaxy lately has had a strong vegetal, grassy flavor.
