    I've had most of them, and my impression is that they are different one-off collabs. Most have been with other breweries or private beer drinker groups. They've all been IPAs (at least the ones I've had), but they are all different hop/grain bills so there's really not much tying them together.

    Yep. Each Of the descriptions starts with “Making beer is not the most glamorous of processes, it's factory work, and it is a grind... Days can be long and times can be trying, but the payoff can be huge in the friendships you forge. Our new series of Double IPA's named "Losers' Club" is just that, an invitation to the fellow Losers we've come to befriend to brew a Double IPA in their style and showcase what we all do best together.”

    My order of Cocoanut is being delivered tomorrow, looking forward to trying this one. I'm drinking an ASB Motor Oil 8 right now and it's awesome - looking forward to making a cuvee of the two at some point this weekend lol

    I just had to order another 4-pack of MarionDairy. So good. Also picked up Galaxy Juice which I remember liking alot better than Galaxy Sauce. Hope I am right about that.

    Ma9573, glad you though Motor Oil was awesome, because I think it is as well.

    Big Trouble in Little Citra hazy ipa. I was a little hesitant with the Enigma hops, but got one to try. Pleasantly surprised, Citra worked well with the Enigma. Juice forward for sure, Orange and tropical. Low bitterness.

    After seeing the solid reviews, went in on MarionDairy Kettle Sour. Solid. Big Blackberry/Marionberry juice taste. Creamy as well. Wife liked it as also.

    This is one of the better newer hazy DIPAs from FW.

    Chronic Argonauts, 8%. Mosaic, Galaxy and Denali hops. Big juice upfront. Some dank on backend.

    Had a few more Fieldwork pickups...

    Chisel West Coast IPA is solid. Doesn't get a ton of mention, but right in my WC Wheel house for a day drinker. Citra and El Dorado hops.

    Saint Thomas OG is always a favorite when it comes back around. Glad they still have the OG version.

    ....and this batch of GALAXY JUICE. They have hit the consistency with this beer that last several batches. Very Good.

    This was a sleeper IMHO. I was reluctant, because I hate milk sugar added to beer, but ASB "Biggies" variations changed my opinion about milk sugar, and I thought Great Notion sours were untouchable.

    But, I was pleasantly surprised here. This one is a winner. I really enjoyed it.

    Fieldwork nailing the West Coast IPAs. Another one that flies under the radar. Clear Skies WC IPA. Mosaic and Dr Rudi Hops. I could drink this one on the daily. Berry and Stone fruit. Low Bitterness.

    I really think FW has been on a roll lately. As you mentioned their WCIPA game is probably the strongest it's every been - and that's high praise because I always thought it was their strong suit. Releases like Mo Pulp taste exactly like the last batch, which is excellent because it tastes great but also because they're getting consistent! Logic Gate was fantastic too, as was Designer Arrows and OG St Thomas, and Galaxy Juice, and Chisel... well, you get the idea.

    I can confirm this. Mo Pulp was great. Just had my first can from this batch.

    Just got some singles of hazy train and timber line. Looking forward to a little fieldwork drop in our area. Any one tried timber line yet?

    Tried NoHo Dank West Coast IPA. Falls back more to the classic side of WC with the Columbus Hops. Some dank, pretty clean. Not quite as good as the other recent stand out WC from Fieldworks.
