    I am really looking forward to trying the IST when it comes out. If it's anything like GB, PM, or sea hag, I'll be sold.

    to be overly literal - it's nothing like any of those beers!

    but it's awesome.

    like all their beers, it's a unique, high-end take on the style. it's probably a bit "overrated" in terms of what it demands trade-wise, but if the flavors they wring out in that beer match your palate it's hard to find another RIS as satisfying. as an analogy, while it doesn't taste like hoppin' frog's BORIS, it's like that in that if you really love BORIS, you can't just go out and get old rasputin or stone IRS or brooklyn BCS and be satisfied; you need that BORIS. (incidentally, i like BORIS way more than IST, but that doesn't matter)

    on the topic of "NEBCO takes on styles," wet willy has to be the most underrated beer in the northeast. how bottles of that remain on shelves so long continues to puzzle me.
