    I've enjoyed it from two different kegs in 2 states. VERY impressed both times. My favorite beer so far this summer....

    I liked this beer, but not as a Summer beer. To each their own, but when I think of Summer beers, I generally am looking for refreshing and less hop bite, especially on the finish. Don't get me wrong. I do indeed enjoy a hop smack in the mouth, but not when I am jonesing for a fresh, crisp Summer style.

    Just to be clear for people who may have different tastes. I am not criticizing the beer. I find it to have a very dry and bitter aftertaste, which is very well done, and which I enjoyed. It just is not what I am going to reach for on a hot day. When I want that Summer quenching, crisp beer, I am looking for something more along the lines of Summer Love (less hop on the back end), Sierra Nevada Summerfest, or Bell's Oberon.

    I thought it was really good, but it gave me a headache after I had it... I personally like Ommegang BPA, Rare Vos, and Scythe & Sickle just a little bit more..

    i'm an idiot
    i was VERY wrong about this beer
    prolly because i had it as part of a bottle with much bigger beers that were coming from all over the flavor spectrum

    i'm enjoying a solo one right now before i head out and it is glorious
