    Ah OK, I was wondering when new cans would come. I'd seen their IG page recently, it seems like some of the beers may be 4-6 weeks old? I'm assuming they are at least kept cold?

    And one more question while I'm bugging you - any idea what's going on (if anything) with Foreign Objects?

    Citra-Mosaic is melony and disappointing. This is maybe the first dual hop I haven't liked.

    I'm digging melon so grabbed a 4pk of C+M. Also had Total Straw Collapse (weirdly enjoyable), and Pastrytown V2 (chocolate macadamia, as described but with a thin finish). Thank god I can get tasters of these beers again.

    FYI Pastrytown stouts have returned for curbside pickup, including individual bottles for anyone who was waiting for that.

    thanks for the heads up, got the waffle one which seems like the runaway favorite

    anyone else clocking a kinda corny/macro-lager flavor dominating the single ipas of late? was very present in small riwaka and now in space dream

    Head to Finback and get Double Something Mosaic, it’s great. Finback amongst other things awesome at Mosaic.

    so I had another Cit-Mo last night and it tasted much better. I then realized that the first can I tried was preceded by a Finback with all its pungent hop overpowering glory, and I think it just wrecked the palate so much that all I tasted was sweet melon in the OH. Lesson learned. That note was much more subtle second time around.

    @afroskully, I was thinking the same thing after my first can: it has subtle melon in the finish but upfront I was getting dank mosaic notes, and a touch of citrusy bitterness. Still thought it was a lesser dual hop, which are generally some of my favorite.

    Also cracked open my BA Quiet Space last night. It's delightfully thick, very subtle vanilla dominates. While still pretty cold I thought it was better balanced sweetness and roasty bitterness, but by the end it was a typically saccharine affair. Glad I grabbed one though.

    So what do you guys think about four packs sitting on shelves in stores. Like in the back where it's cool but it's obviously not not a fridge either.

    Joe canals in Woodbridge has

    ACE, SCE, DDH Hop Showers , DDH stacks, Mylar Bags, DDH double citra daydream, DDH Green city

    What's your opinion on getting a 2 month old ACE that's been sitting on the shelf?

    I personally wouldn’t take a 2 month old shelfie but you should take one for the team and grab some for scientific purposes. You will be forever thanked for your service.

    Drain pour... but maybe that's like getting a Purple Heart 'round these parts.

    Man, I feel like you guys have more cans available at your local grocery store than I do at Domino Park

    I'd rather have $20 freshies than a selection of $30 2 month old four packs.
