    Bummer. Have you tried both the Citra and Idaho 7 versions? I found the Citra version just OK but liked the Idaho 7 much more.

    Sorry. That happens. 3-Way hasn't been infallible for a few years now.

    I was the other way. Idaho 7 seemed... like the finish didnt match the body, and was palate confusing. And citra is.. well, citra, yum!

    Have only had it once so far this year, and that was on tap. So not sure what version I had.

    I thought it was OK. Not great, not outstanding, not really good, just OK. Will probably order again at some point, but I'm in no hurry

    I ordered it at a bar that didn't label it as a hazy and I sent it back when it appeared they had brought me a glass of orange juice made with rusty tap water.

    This year's 3-Way hasn't been super hazy and it's also easily available. I'm guessing there's a correlation there.

    Looking at the Fort George website, the 3-Way looks kinda hazy. But with that said, it's possible what I ordered and sent back was Crysknife. I don't remember anymore.

    It also has a bit of bitterness, which seems to affect hazy IPA fans the way water affects the Wicked Witch of the West.

    I've found that when I've poured the 3-Way straight from the fridge, the sentiment (and haze) really settles at the bottom. I poured the first 6-8 ozs and it didn't look hazy at all. The last bit was completely thick and opaque. I'm letting them warm up a little bit and giving them a controlled shake now before pouring.

    I dunno man, I like this years 3-Way. Last years 3-Way was the dud for me.

    Back on the wagon after yesterday’s wretched excess.
    This is the citra version. Not bad, but not great either. Still, 70° sunny with a beer on my back patio....I’ll take it

    That's what our waiter at Fort George mentioned last week.

    Seems kind of early to roll out the third and final variant. Will 3-Way have a shorter run this year, or will they cycle back through? Speculate starting... now!

    Are they only doing 3? Was hoping for Amarillo, simcoe, etc. Like 8. Lol

    Finishing up my first can, the 6/4/19 of Citra. Nice enough, but jumping out as a stand out.

    Originally announced as 3, but there’s a final Strata variant in distribution now.

    Huh. I still haven't stumbled across any of the Cashmere version yet.
