    Ah, my wife is across the street from Huntley right now. I wanted to try Frooted and didn't know how to get it without her having to go in there and be like "do you have the fruit beer?".

    @Jplachy - I don't know if you got any of the Frooted Jam yet or not, but More just posted on their Insta that they have several packs at Villa Park from folks that were no-shows over the weekend. Looks like they put it up for internet orders.

    Yeah I just saw. Huntley had them yesterday but now I'm not really near either location. But thanks for the heads up.

    Really digging Morever right now. Bumped it up to a 4.25 from the 4 I gave it last night. Seems to be doing a lot right for me at the moment. Strong recommend.

    Having a little buyers remorse on my 8 cans of Fruited Jam. Wish I would’ve gotten the P3 Nectar instead.

    Also this batch of DDH Space Boots isn’t as tasty as I remember it.

    Will drain pour all of it into my facehole.

    Lulz. Just realized I'm drinking a Huntley Helles out of a P3 koozie.

    I'm no lager expert, but I'm really enjoying this.

    How's strawberry marbles tasting? Not a fan of milkshake ipas in general. Pre-ordered a 4 pack from the open bottle tonight on a whim.

    Last night I had an Elixir Fields from the most recent batch last night that was starting to look like apple cider. It's a little over a month old and was refrigerated since purchase.

    I'm not sure what Mikerphone did to this beer, but I'm sure they won't own up to their responsibility.

    This is why breweries continuing making so many milkshake IPAs. I almost never hear someone say they adore milkshake IPAs. It’s always a statement like “I’m not really a fan of milkshakes usually, but I gotta try it”.

    The only milkshake IPA I've actually liked was DBO/ BO. My buddy raved about Strawberry Marbles in the past so I figured I'd gamble.

    I'm not a huge fan. Blazed Orange was good, and I do like Old School Hawaii Vibes. Strawberry Marbles is one of the better ones. My favorite though is one that never got any hype: All Shook Up (Mikerphone/Amager collab), which was a milkshake that was flavored with a variety of different citrus peel. I'd guess orange, grapefruit, and lime and/or lemon. The citrus peel (especially the grapefruit) added a marmalade-like bitterness that offset the sweetness nicely in a way that hop bitterness doesn't.

    Two different Double Frooted (Guava Pineapple and Passionfruit/Peach/Pineapple) available in cans at More right now. They decided not to do the ticketing thing for this release. I might have to go pick one up. Guava is possibly my favorite fruit for beer, it just works so well. Miami Madness sold me.

    Already snagged em. Also went in for the guava goodness. Buddy is nabbing the P3 Double nectar and pressed coconut. Horse trade of rival breweries inbound. We, as beer drinkers, can all get along.

    Still have cans of Strawberry marbles, too. Which I thought was prob the best of all the Marbles.

    By the way, Razzimus Prime is flat out awesome. It might actually be my favorite non-stout beer I've ever tried from More.

    If you're heading to More for Frooted or Marbles, pick up a 4-pack. You won't regret it.

    I think this batch of Strawberry Marbles is pretty bad. It’s gone off the rails from where it originally was

    To each their own. Haven't been overly impressed by Marbles, all pretty much good but not great. This strawberry and vanilla I thought was delicious. But...I've had one and let's see what I think of the rest of em...

    As for above, the Razimmus Prime was in 4 packs? Thought it was a Crowler today so I passed.

    Really enjoyed the Double Pink Guava & Pineapple!

    Are you thinking about Zesty Enterprise? That was in crowlers. Razzimus Prime was in 4pks.
