    All due respect, this is now bordering on a fetish. I'm guessing you're making even Malcolm uncomfortable at this point.

    As a regular beer drinker, his body cannot be that good.

    Fantastic! Because this is what we're all looking for at the taproom:

    I may be the lone voice of dissent here, but Monday on tap I thought it tasted a tad more intense than last batch. Almost overpowering...like extra hop powder was added. Or, maybe the triple nelson DD I had before it just ruined me. (didn't love that one either)

    Yeah I kind of had that impression too. In my case possibly due to having my first can immediately after ACE which is a lot smoother. But had my last C+G can last night - and enjoyed it a lot more. Whether that’s a case of my hyper-sensitive palate detecting changes over four days, or just succumbing to the bludgeoning style of Rob Newton dual hop hyping, I’m not sure.

    Blasphemy. It's amazing. I should've stocked up more aggressively.

    Also... Other Half bludgeoning flavor? Are you new here!?

    Edit: I would also believe going down to a sessionable 8.5%er from a 10% DD beer is going to throw things off quite a bit too. The dual hop might have tasted light and dry but intensely hoppy.

    Its a really good version of hop showers.

    But I'm finding myself wanting it to have a bit more bitterness at the end. The bitterness showed up a little as it warmed, but wanted it to offset a bit a juice when it was colder.

    Rob's diction and palate has obviously been tainted by excessive time celebrating Lizzo's entire catalog.

    "It ain't my fault that I'm out here gettin' loose" could very easily be BA's new slogan.

    Roc showers looks different than Hop Showers. I hate it.

    So far I've been really enjoying the Bloomfield brews and can't wait to try both Greens and Roc Showers.
