    No high-five? For shame...

    EDIT: Also - Monomoy Kriek >> Red Poppy.

    This year's Red Poppy says "Vintage 2012" in yellow on the neck of the bottle. I want to say that the 2011 doesn't have a date.

    Opened a bottle of this last night with two others - we all agreed that the beer smelled like moldy cheese, but the beer was very delicious and the highlight of the night. Nicely balanced with good mouthfeel. Definitely worth giving it a try.

    I preferred last year's fruitier version over this one which I though had more of a dirty/funk taste to it. To each his own...

    If I recall, there was a thread last year about the unpleasant aroma of the 2011 vintage. I did not experience that with any of the bottles I had though.
