    Wusabro was good. It wasn't my favorite from FR as I think it is still a little green, but with a little time it could become great. When it warmed, I got a lot of tropical deliciousness, specifically mango, pineapple, papaya, and passionfruit, plus definite coconut. It reminded me a lot of a tiki drink in IPA form. The issue that I had was especially when it was cold, it was chalky, excessively dry, and overly bitter. This was replaced with the aforementioned tropical beach party, but it was still present toward the back. I hope this dissipates and becomes a real winner, but for now it's still worth a try.

    Sabro is such a unique hop, and I look forward to having more of it.

    The real winners of the night for me were Cherry Amaro, Fernetic, and Aboot Stoot, the latter of which was fudgy, Hershey's syrup, brownie batter. I think FR makes very good-to-great NEIPAs, but their biggest contribution to me is the weirder cocktail/bitter/culinary-inspired beers.

    Why does the Google™ doc take over twenty minutes to load on v.92? :pensive:
    If I get logged off before it lets me input my bottles, I'll mention here I'm bringing bottles of Deschutes The Abyss 2009 and 2010.
    The 2009 brew had some batches get infected; the beer went unintentionally sour. :open_mouth: This was shipped to me directly from Deschutes. It has been in the beer cellar ever since. Tuesday, we're going to find out. :crazy_face: :beers:

    P. S.: Bringing nothing from Goose Island. :wink:
