    I thought it was delicious but idk if it was as good as regular timbo. Going to do a blind taste test this weekend.

    I live like a mile from Green Cheek but never heard of it until the other day. Think I'll go and check it out tomorrow, any must-try things on the menu?

    Did a blind taste test with gc timbo and highland park timbo and the nose and taste on highland park was undeniable. I got more tropical and candy like mosaic from original timbo and it tasted great. Green cheeks was good but not like og timbo

    You're in for a treat. Their WC ipa's, hazys, lagers, stouts, and even seltzers are all good to great.

    You ain't lying, we all liked it a lot. The cream stout was surprisingly good, the first decent one I've ever had. Timbo Pils was a little sharp for my personal preferences, but an excellent pilsner. Other than that it was all various IPA's, mostly kiwi, ozzie, and murican examples. I recall the Australian IPA was amazingly balanced and had almost no aftertaste. Much higher ABV than I'm used to though, we had to roll out for tacos pretty quickly down at the circle.

    I had just never gotten around to trying GC's IPA's...any of them.
    They released a DDH Hazy TIPA over the weekend - Slagathors Lair. Ran down to Bottle Logic and thought I'd swing by.
    It is excellent. Probably the smoothest 10% TIPA I've ever had. Might be smoother than Monkish? I didn't get any hint of alcohol.

    IMO, Triples are Green Cheek’s wheelhouse and >= Monkish triples … always rushing down to GC whenever they release a triple.

    I’m done with the triples these days. Unless it’s a Nelson hopped triple. I’ll make an exception.

    Same. Nelson Yum Yum redux would be a thing of beauty.

    With ya on the triple burnout. Having Radiant Beauty on regular rotation would be aces.

    Still, there's something to be said for a well crafted triple IPA. Slagathor's Lair is definitely one of those.

    True - cuz they don't "taste" like a triple :slight_smile: Smooth AF - drinks like a DIPA
