Fifty Fifty (50/50) Eclipse - 2015

I thought the coffee and vanilla were both amazing

 

Usually about $38/bottle here for any variant. Haven't ever felt like dropping that kind of money just to try one.

 

I can buy a 6-pack of beer for $11 that scored 91. For something that costs that much, I'd say "meh" is appropriate.

 

This minus the profit and you control the vanilla taste which is the best part.

 

I understand the price concern, just don't get the "meh" review comment.

 

Ah. I would say that meh is merely a reaction to perceived quality vs. price. I think most people temper their expectations and standards for something that costs this much. YMMV. There is a lot of psychology that goes into beer ratings and perceptions.

 

EC12 is greatness. But again like others have said, extremely difficult to pull the trigger at this price point.

 

My local store has the full assortment. But there are a lot of great beers that don't cost $30. Bought one last year for the cellar, this year I will pass.

 

Picked up the Vanilla for $31 the other day. Taking a chance, but doubt it will be as good as ANTEAD Vanilla. Might do a Vanilla tasting one night.

 

There was some store in Westmont (chicago suburb) a couple years ago that messed up the price..they thought a case had 24 bottles, not 12..so the were selling these for $15 each. Once word got out, those were gone in a couple days. typically though these sit around here for nearly a year.

 

I've never had it but picked up a rye and coffee. A little steep at $26 here in PA but I wanted to try them out.

 

"Profit"... its sort of a thing from Southpark. Just means "Now experience awesomeness"
