    Great beer! One of the first rotating hop beers I have enjoyed in a while. I always skeptical of theses, just like collabs. Awesome job MBC!

    Which hops? Price?

    Pricey $8. Mosaic, Columbus, Centennial, and Nelson Sauvin. Bitter tons of grapefruit. But not a murky juice bomb mess. Really well done! If it weren't for the 1 bottle limit I would have bought at least one more. Its worth the $8

    I grabbed one from Julios today and agree with @MVP09 - This was really well done. Love the Nelson Sauvin. It was pricey but not in the MBC scale of pricing.

    $8 for the MBC 16.9 oz bottle? So $10.50 bomber equivalent. Honestly not bad for a special one off beer. But the one bottle limit everywhere is ridiculous.

    Just had this tonight ($8) and agree with the other posts - really well done. Maybe didn't melt my brain (in the good way) like Dinner did, but with the Nelson Sauvin it's like a super upgraded MO. Highly recommended. Cheers!

    Another creatively marketed beer from MBC.

    I just want a new format from them! Is it 3, 4 or 5yrs now with 16.9oz? C'mon gimme a 12oz bottles of Peeper!

    Pint cans would be just fine.

    I liked it. Another 1 and then Lunch and then Beer 1 in my mind though.

    Redstone posted earlier both locations have it. 1 per no holds

    Maybe my favorite from them save for lunch. Really, the nose on lunch is always keeping that one at the top of their beers for me. I haven't had dinner yet - but I really enjoyed the Nelson and mosaic combo in beer I. Very complex and every gulp brought a different variation of the flavors at play as I drank it.

    Carl's in Kittery had 7 cases of it, no limits, $6.50. I agree it's a killer IPA. Super light malt bill lets the hop's shine.

    Gotta love Maine. And that 7 Eleven is ridiculous!

    I'm drinking one now and digging it. Delicate brew.

    MBC pricing means their brews must remain an occasional treat for me, and the brews themselves ensure that they're always a treat indeed.

    There are a few at Provisions in Northampton if anyone is looking. They were in the cooler yesterday. Sold out a few other spots that had them. I think Liquors 44 might have had some too. Haven't seen anywhere that have limits yet.

    My buddy said it was on the shelves at Walsh's in Brighton, so not far from Watertown. Not sure about limits though. And contrary to the other posts here, I don't think it's worth going out of your way for (unless you need that tick). I'd take Mo over this any day.
