    Session-smession. .. This is the best smelling beer I've stuck my nose into in a while, and that includes a lot of those fancy pants New England beers we get so wet about. Dat mosaic and citra boys... Got dayum!

    This one's a game changer in my book.

    Feel like sending some to NM? Along with some Heavy Machinery, Yellow Rose and Greenhouse?

    I was highly impressed by the IPAs coming out of Texas and agree the aromas, juiciness, etc were superb. Problem with Texas is you're so damn big, some beers don't even make it outside of one city!

    Meta Modern replaced pretty much everything in my fridge that I drink on a daily basis since I tried it at the Draughthouse. I am a sucker for lower-ABV beers - and this one is great for me.

    I still have love for Hans and Zoe, just not in my fridge as much.

    Couldn't agree more! This one has a permanent home in my fridge.

    We brought it into the FW Saucer a week ago and it's become the hottest seller very quickly...it will be an extra in every box I send out

    THE best <5% ABV hoppy beer I've ever had. So flavorful and drinkable at the same time, with zero bitterness. Oasis is doing some really great things, and they have an amazing location. The local beer scene just keeps getting better and better.

    I knew I should have grabbed a sixer of this when I saw it. I will probably grab some tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

    Agreed, this beer really is incredible. And I actually found to have a nice lasting bitterness. Only complaint, and this is across the board for all beers. It needs to be can dated.

    Absolutely agree. Bought this after going through a 6 pack of Hopochondria and, to me, there is no comparison.

    These Texas canned seasonals are dipping into my 'rar whalez' budget. I'll have to pick some up.

    It's year-round. I don't think Oasis actually has any seasonals that they distro in cans.

    Well, maybe not Meta...I haven't tried it yet. I meant Real Ale White and Red Bud, which will be taking up a good chunk of my beer budget.

    Well, I guess I know what I'm drinking tonight. I bought a single to try. I had Greenhouse last night which was very good.

    Now I want the day to be done to try it!

    The Lake Monster stuff, right?

    Speaking of...that should be a Wee Heavy aged in wine barrels this year. Wasn't too fond of the porter last year, but a wee heavy aged in wine barrels sounds like it could be pretty good.

    I have Meta, Heavy, Yellow, and Greenhouse in my fridge as we speak. I bought everyone in one city (Austin), but I travel around the state a lot, so I can pick up the "out of towners" pretty easily too. As to this list, Yellow Rose is the only difficult one to pick up in Austin, but it's regularly available at the Jester King brewery, and I bought a six pack (of 750 ml bottles) at a Twin Liquor on Hwy 183. A few day later I saw a whole mess of Yellow Rose at a grocery (HEB) on 290 north of Houston.

    I'm a happy dog!
