    Posted to their website last week, it's the Fall '14 release of the mixed-12 Box of Hops:

    MORE ABOUT EACH BEER INSIDE BOX OF HOPS:
    Flower Power – IPA:
    Our wildly popular IPA is simultaneously punchy & soothing with a big body finish that boasts pineapple and grapefruit.

    Dark Vine – Black IPA:
    A hoppy black IPA bursting with so much flavor, that you might think you’re tasting double. Intensely floral nose, surprisingly light body, and strong bitter finish.

    Rustic Harvest – Red Rye IPA: A pale ale that boasts in your face hops and rye with a big earth and spice aroma that is fun, balanced, and ready to invade your taste buds.

    Creeker – Double IPA:
    By no means an ordinary Double IPA. Creeker is all hops with little malt body. Enjoy the intense citrus flavor & aroma with mischievously easy drinkability.

    I would like to try the 3 non-FP beers very much. I saw the 12-packs in my local store over the weekend ....... for $26. Well, I don't know what to say ... guess I won't try them.

    Anything is an improvement over Double Zilla. While it was definitely a double red, I had to force myself to drink the last two out of the pack. I really wish that they sold the Creeker in sixers because they do not offer a year-round double AND because it was fantastic last year.

    Creeker is awesome again this year. Super juicy, light mouthfeel, and just incredibly drinkable. I'd buy this by the case if they released this standalone. I love Box o hops for some fresh Flower Power too...getting tough to find fresh bottles.

    See the mentions of 2014 Creeker in the Mid-Atlantic subforum .... different beer this time, apparently.

    Creeker was fantastic. It was my first time having it. The Rustic Harvest was amazing. I do love Rye beers so I'm really into this one.
    The whole Box of Hops is great. Well worth picking up.

    Just over 2$ a bottle of close to double IPA hopping rate brew,

    Split the pack with a buddy, 13$ a sixer of ithica IS on the high end but these ARE limited brews.

    Cheers to Ithica for Mix packs!

    Creeker sounds exactly like what I want in a DIPA. Less Malt More Hops!

    I was a little bummed out when I found out the price at the register, but I'm drinking a Creeker right now with absolutely no regrets.

    Pick this one up if you can.

    The beers are great! As mentioned before, split with a friend (that's what I did!).

    Offensive price point. I'll pass.

    Should be able to find it at Bottles and Nikkis in Providence.

    For MA, try Yankee Spirits Swansea/North Attleboro, and any Whole Foods, Granite Package Weymoth, etc.
