    Are there any well known beers that are heavy on Apollo hops?

    Hopollo from Oakshire is. I'm pretty sure it was around the Colorado market. It might be faded by now though.

    Anyone else enjoy upslope lychee with azacca hops? Thought it was really solid.

    I agree - solid. Not mind blowing but good. They have an experimental (German?) hop IPA on tap at Lee Hill right now that is too legit to quit (not MC Hammer at his prime too legit, but when he didn't have much loot any more but it was still dope to see him at the Sizzler and get his autograph too legit ...)

    Definitely love the 10am side x side comparison(I do the same shit). I've got 2 Citra left in the fridge and plan on comparing them to the Chinook. @S26BC any chance you will/can do a Mosaic hopped version?

    Dark Horse does a single hop series, Crooked Tree I think. There's definitely one with Apollo

    EDIT- here it is, took a minute to find with the reverse spelling http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1471/127581/?ba=BB1313

    @JakeT469 and @tylerstubs: Chinook for a while, then Mosaic. After that is hard to say. Maybe Simcoe? Unfortunately no Galaxy or Amarillo or Nelson Sauvin - simply too difficult for us to obtain those hops in the quantities we need.

    What will be following the Nelson and Apollo IPA's on tap at the brewery? (Nelson is fantastic!)

    That excellent news on doing a Mosaic next. But a bigger bummer no Amarillo

    Odell IPA is now available in cans!!!!

    Picked some up yesterday. The can looks great and tastes great too. The 12 pack also fits so much better in my fridge!

    Excellent news. Are they marked with a "best by" date? I don't know what Odell uses, but I think it's 6 months for the IPA.

    I'm very happy to see Odell in cans, not so happy that the date is only on the cans so you won't be able to check freshness before buying. For now it's fine since we know they just came out, months from now hopefully they'll print the dates on the package

    I finally had Superfan. While I didn't find it nearly as good as their NE contemporaries, I totally think they nailed the style. Hazy hop juice. The best success I've had outside of New England. Hope to see others take it on!

    Looking at a 12-pack right now with a 2/20/16 on the end board. If you're holding it by the handle and your palm is on the printed can, follow the package around the corner...boom, date.
