    Its a double IPA with mango and habanero. Also its kind of old now. And for anyone reading its a double IPA so there is no need to hoard it thinking it will get better with time/ trade value improve

    Keg was far superior to bottle. Could be because of aging factors.

    Where are you seeing that its a double IPA?

    I thought it was myself.

    Per flavor and ABV, seems to fit well into the DIPA category.

    Maybe. Just doesnt say anything about that, even on the Founders site. Just says "fruit beer" or "chili beer"

    That's what I'm saying too lol - Adding "IPA" to the mix shoots my puppy.

    Yeah, I double checked.

    From experience, I'd call it a DIPA though. Maybe it'll hold up really well and not change much and prove me wrong.

    But it was a syrupy hop mango habanero concoction... lol

    Sounds like pretty much what I was expecting. :slight_smile:

    When they say on the website they expect it to be shared, they aren't just whistling Dixie. This beer is a bit rough for drinking much more than 6 ounces.

    Heartburn inducing for sure! :grinning:

    If I can score a bottle - I was going to do just that - Share it.

    This really does not intrigue me at all and I wouldn't buy one if I saw it. That's all. Just wanted to share my indifference.

    It was worth a try, but nothing earth shattering.

    I was glad to have it, but passed up the chance to buy as many as I wanted at the brewery.
