    Very good batch this year. Have had quite a few. New artwork is classic yet new.

    That's what my batch looked like. :slight_smile: Tasted the same as always, very good but a little heavy. Stick to a couple of these, maybe three at the most with some other lighter breaks in between.

    Ug. I think the Mad Elf re-design is the worst of the new Troegs designs.

    Which new label(s) are you a fan of and why?

    I'd say only Blizzard of Hops, Hop Knife, and Perpetual IPA are improvements.

    As myself and many others stated when these were first announced, I think the re-designs try way too hard to be artsy.
