    Not one to rain on the parade but 5.0 is totally different then all others. Was hoping it was close to 3.0 or 4.0.

    I like their Electric Silk IPA. Haven't tried it in cans, but it's tasty in person.

    I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. The recipe is the same with the exception of replacing some of the equinox with citra. Fwiw, the Equinox is very strong for the first 2-4 days after we can it. The beer tastes completely different after the Equinox falls off.

    Still haven't made up my mind on it. It has way more citrus to it then all other versions. I just poured a 2nd can and will probably drink more.

    Just was expecting it to be close when you said it was a tweak to the recipe. Just feel it's way more different compared to any of the previous batches.

    In terms of mathematical changes, this is the smallest change we've made.

    With that surprisingly, I think this is the biggest difference between flavors.

    Don't get me wrong, it's really good, just didn't expect such a difference. And for reference, I've bought/drank a 6pk within a week of it hitting stores for each batch.

    Drinking the 5.0, it's very good. I think I like it the best of the bunch, which isn't surprising if the only tweak from 4.0 was making it more citra-heavy

    Just grabbed a six pack of the 5.0 at their tap house and I love it. Best of the bunch and it's not even close IMO. Haziest, fruitiest version yet and it's fantastic! I find it very similar to Swish by Bissel Bros. if this is the final version count me as a huge (Super)fan!

    Not an IPA, but I really enjoyed their Scotch Ale. Not sure if it's being canned.

    I got to get some 5.0 tonight with my ragtop down so my hair can blow.

    Liked 4 a lot. Think 2.0 was my least fave but still really good..

    Probably March or April now. Brewing beers for the IPA Championships that the Brewing News puts on. Then brewing two IPA's for Oskar Blues Southern Hemisphere Hop Fest, WBC entries and then two Collaboration Fest beers, on top of our normal production. Also, we're getting 4 more tanks on the 20th.

    I saw today that 4 Noses officially came out with an American IPA. I'm looking forward to trying it. Their Pale (Proboscis) is a borderline IPA and is outstanding, so I have high hopes for their IPA.

    Just had my first Superfan last night... DAMN.
    Citra madness... tasted like orange juice.
    Damn good stuff.
    I kinda wanna drop a shot of vanilla vodka in one for a hell of a Screwdriver.
