    I am a big fan of Citra. Simcoe Sensation is mediocre. Hoppy to Wheat you I won't be revisiting.

    From a non hop lover I must say I have bought more than my fair share of Citra. That stuff is so delicious during these hot days. Was not a fan of Simco but it is hard for me to enjoy any beers at this point being too bitter but my tastes are always changing. Really looking forward to more of their offerings.

    I really like Citra Pale, and Simcoe Sensation is pretty solid as well. they've both been selling really well too. getting Me So Hoppy in at work tomorrow, looking forward to trying it.

    I love their CPA. I didn't care for their Simcoe Sensation but just because I don't like simcoe hops too much. I will say that it had a ton of flavor and was clean tasting. I've only had Me So Hoppy in growler form but it was pretty good, I could see that one as a popular choice in my fridge. Odd Side is doing great things.

    I've loved everything I've had from them, bottle and draft. My favorite being White Rabbit. That would be an awesome special release from them.

    I spoke with them two weekends ago and White Rabbit won't be brewed for quite some time. Took them awhile to get those barrels.

    I imagine they are expensive too. I'm grateful that I got to try it though.

    Who's the idiot at Odd Side that developed the label for Me So Hoppy...they are gonna catch some shit for that...bad joke at minimum...patently offensive to many...its a good crisp refreshing beer to I hope they re-think their marketing on this one...come on Odd Side...use some damn common sense...

    Wanna post a picture? The only picture I could find on Google didn't look too offensive.

    Ah sorry man...no pic available...had a bottle at my friends...its on shelves in Ann Arbor...delicious wheat beer...I like it better than Oberon...basically they mimic a southeast asian accent in the spelling and grammar on the label..."a derisious wheat ale with a hoppy finish that lingers long time!"...I think there's an asian prostitute reference mixed in there from the sounds of it...at the very least its mildly offensive for many but probably worse for others while many wouldnt give a shit...just an unnecessary foolish attempt at a joke that may provoke laughs privately but is a NOT a good idea to put on a label when you're a brewery that is just startin to hit some kind of a stride...why alienate anyone? Its just stupid...

    Whoa, that's super quick. I was under the impression that they'd continually distribute CPA and always have a second beer in distribution that would cycle. There was a large gap between Simcoe Sensation and Me So Hoppy, so I figured there would be a similar one between Me So and Bean Flicker. I'm glad there's not. Can't wait to get some 6-packs of Bean Flicker!

    Just got back from visiting Grand Haven. Definitely noticed some variation in the CPA - had a howler that was good, a 6-pack that was great, and another 6-pack from a different batch that was mediocre. I liked Simcoe Sensation a little more than most and thought Me So Hoppy was definitely above average as well. A bit off topic since they're not distributed, but the best beers I had there were BB Mayan Mocha, Colossal Oversight (double BA barleywine), and Weed Party, a new IPA they tapped for their 30th anniversary. Brought back several howlers of Weed Party that did not last nearly long enough!
