    I've had 4 and 5. I really enjoyed 4 as well.

    That's cool, like I said I really enjoy both beers. Comrade's killing it.

    Drinking an IPA from Platt Park right now called Tropical Snow Dance. Pretty good considering I've never heard of it. Taste doesn't quite match the nose but still a very tasty, citrusy IPA.

    Anybody else had this?

    Yep, I've taken a growler of it home before. Great beer. I really like their Phaded pale as well.

    Just had this at the Brewer's Rendezvous. Really great drinking IPA and everything else Platt Park brought was just fantastic. They are turning out to be one of my favorites in the state. If you haven't had 'Madagascar Dream', do yourself a favor and seek it out. It's one of the more interesting beers I've had in a while.

    If this counts, try the Breckenridge Whiskey Barrel-Aged 471.

    Cheers!

    I've never really warmed up to Mojo in the bottle or can... but every time I go to Red Rocks, I drink that on draft and it's bomb diggedy.

    Went to Cannonball creek today. Got a pint of the alpha #4 and then got a growler. This is definitely the beat ipa we have in Colorado.

    Had to come get Alpha #4 while it was on. I have to say.... I'm kinda let down. Maybe it's just because of how much hype I have read about it.

    Don't get me wrong, it's good. Maybe even better than good. But IMO, it's not on the level that it's currently being put.

    I'm sure it's getting overhyped on this thread, but I'm curious what you're finding better... because I want it :slight_smile:

    Over hyped? Possibly, maybe even probably but I must say it is truly a fantastic beer, I still think Superpower beats it out for best IPA in CO however I think AP #4 deserves to be mentioned in the discussion.

    I agree with this completely. Went to CC yesterday and had my share of pints and brought a growler home. Very citrusy and not nearly as hop forward as say Superpower, which I still think is the best, but PA4 is for real in its own way and worth the $22 fill.

    PA4 is awesome, but Honeyman the Fifth is blowing my goddamned mind.

    The beer was awesome. Are you sure it was $22? I got a pint and got my kids 2 of there sodas they had and I got a growler fill and my bill was $42. I was pretty shocked and yes I brought my own growler to have filled
