    Goes to show how subjective flavors can be. SN is so distinct in it's house profile, I have no idea how Fresh Squeezed could be mistaken for a SN brew. Hell...I even chased my Fresh Squeezed with a Torpedo. No similarities for me. Thoroughly enjoyed both.

    Cheers!

    Really? I thought it was right on with color and hue.

    Anywho... I dig this beer, it's got more crystal malt than most pale ales and IPAs have, giving it the perceived sweetness as crystal does. I think it balances well with the citra and mosaic. I do wish they had used something with a more firm bitterness for the early addition like magnum instead of nugget. But the shits good.

    Wow, just cracked my first one open, and it's great. Reminds me of Bootlegger's Far Out IPA--not in its taste profile, but its overall simple likeability. Nothing particularly complex, but just temptingly drinkable. I could see killing a few of these in a sitting.

    Really enjoyed it, but thought it was a bit pricey ($5.49) for a bomber. I paid the same price for hop henge (side note: one of my favorite brews) a couple of weeks back. Their six packs of inversion or red chair are usually $7.49 in my neck of the woods. With that said, I liked it better than inversion and wouldn't mind seeing it switched out for freshly squeezed.

    This shit was killer! The bottle design is kinda gross though. It looks like pee is coming out of the hop.

    I had FS tonight or the first time and I absolutely loved it. I'm not sure what the price point is for most of you but I thought $5.99 was more than reasonable for this brew where I live.

    Most IPAs I just "say" they smell like fruit, this one actually does.

    Reply to sfacrknight:

    It has been awhile since I drank the hop henge I referenced in earlier post. Purchased in the middle of may, had a best by date for August. Consumed and recycled in may. The store I hit up had two rows of them. On the right were ones with best by dates in may and on the left were ones with best by date in August. I chose the left (and that is not a political statement).
