    That is known as the "Bi-Res" :-)

    Without a doubt, 3 Beans, and I haven't had many. I wish they distributed here.

    At the 2013 American Beer fest I had the opportunity to try Killer Crisp...unbelievably good; I wish it was regularly available.

    My only issue is believing that 2 different off flavors that come from yeast/fermentation rather than the distro chain or packaging. You guys are the experts though, not me.

    I hope so. I really want to win that car.
    My thoughts exactly.

    Sixpoint is very hit it miss for me, in fact Hi Res I thought was borderline drain pour, just insanely sweet to the point where the hop profile was barely noticeable. That said, I'm a big fan of Apollo and Bengali Tiger, and Resin is ok. Really want to try the 3beans.

    So this is via Spoons. You're not messing around with your entry strategy. That's 800+ pubs.

    3 Beans was awesome, but I only had it once and that was some time ago. As far as things that are readily available, Resin just slays. I love that stuff.

    I have, and definitely enjoyed it, but appreciate the balance of regular Resin a little more. I thought the alcohol and sweetness of Hi-Res detracted somewhat from its hop profile.

    Gotta love the Resin with Hi-Res a close second.

    Picked up my first 4 pack of Sweet Action yesterday. I was excited to try it and when I finally did I was disappointed. Then I realized the best before March was 2013 and not 2014!!! I totally screwed that up. Now I'm sad. It was fun to tell my wife that I was giving her some sweet action.... as usual she was disappointed also.

    I think sixpoint is . One of the most consistent brewers out there, and by far the best in new york. I didnt love hi res but I liked it, and I never disliked any of them. Sweet action, bengali tiger, and resin are great. Global warmer is my favorite. Incredibly well balanced

    Damn, we gotta get over to that shop and swap out the old product. The retailer is supposed to monitor the code dates and rotate inventory, as well as the wholesaler. This should never have happened.

    Happens all the time here, my local shop has an out of date case of both resin and bengali. What should I tell them to do about this? I'd buy the res in a heart beat, if it was fresh.

    Anyone else as impressed with Hi-Res as I am? I've had this year's editions of HopSlam, EnjoyBy, Sucks, DirtWolf, Hop Ranch and so on. I wouldn't say it's better then all of those but it's up there with them.

    11% with zero trace of alcohol and pungent hops. Color me impressed.

    My mom just sent me this pic as she drove away from the distributor waiting for me to come back home tonight.

    Mommy loves me!
