    Well, within a short time 30 case of BA Naughty Temple bombers will be available at our taphouse brewery. 30 cases will be sent to our existing accounts and a few new ones in the same markets. We have only produced very small amounts of this due to the nature of selection of the finest from Mikes barrel vault!

    We will not produce this beer again for bottling for at least 3 years, due to the nature of the aging and blending and the small amounts that we can produce.

    After that, look for our annual Assassin release. This will be one of our first beers through our new filler! After that, get ready for bombers of pseudoSue!

    Then........tbc

    Haven't had Pompeii, would love to but haven't had it. I've had some of your beers and have been very pleased. I just wanted to comment on the Mosiac hop question...I definitely get a blueberry profile, but also some of those very rip tropical fruits, like tangerine. That was a dominant hop in Bell's This One Goes to 11 Ale...A local brewer has been playing around with it, and I really like it. Juicy...Cheers!

    Within how short of a time?:slight_smile: I'm planning to pass through there either this weekend or next (or maybe both), and would love it if that coincided with a bottle release!

    Pompeii will be starting to hit Iowa City tomorrow! It goes wherever it gets requested the most, so let your beer servers know you want it!

    Cheers

    They each have their own personality due to their different blending proportions. Whether you like the red or gold better depends on the person, and for me, the day!

    Turned out Bait Shop is sitting on it and hasn't tapped it yet. I tried my best to drink the rest of the zeelander so they could get it out there, but couldn't finish it off!!!

    I'll bring at least a few bottles of the 2012 release. If 2013 is bottled by then, I'll bring a lot of that!

    Tried one at Bait Shop in Des Moines tonight and as always with TG I'm very impressed. I would officially review it in Beer Advocate, but I haven't reviewed 20 beers so it says I can't add a new beer.

    Here is what I'd write. I'd heard rumors about blueberries, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to pick that up. It was the first thing I smelled and tasted! Can't remember picking that up in a beer before. Some citrus notes too...maybe less citrus that I've come accustomed to, but I drank a lot of Zeelanders last week so that is probably why I felt this way.

    Color is orange/yellow-ish I think.

    Flavor has the distinct TG IPA juicy flavor, but not over the top. So drinkable and enjoyable. Feels like I could have 6 easy...and quickly. This is really good and the fact it is my fourth favorite TG offering behind Pseudo, Zeelander, and G-Nug is less of a knock on this beer than it is a tribute to the others.
