    Anyone care to comment on this batch of DMD before I decide to trek over today? My liver says no but my heart says yes.

    I was unimpressed and think it pales in comparison to their recent dual hops but I'm also not a big fan of the dream series.

    I'm curious what people think of the new Feels Like Outer Space. I didn't bother picking it up. $$$$

    So BC was Before Cans? Before Cashmere?

    AD? After Domination?

    DMD is not the 'dream' series. e.g. it's not Oat and Lactose'd. They named this beer before the series came out. They Double Mosaic DAYdream is that series. Pretty confusing.

    Wow thanks for clearing that up. I did notice that oats and lactose weren’t in the description but it tastes like theyre in there to me. It had that muted buttery hop smoothness I associate with their lactose beers. That’s kind of impressive it’s that creamy without manipulation.

    One of the reasons why it's one of the best beers they've ever made.

    Was in town for the weekend, tried most of yesterday's releases, and Green Phantasms was my favorite. Had limited room in my luggage, so that's the one I brought home. Has the bite I like and a reasonable ABV.

    I know this is going to be a disaster of a release but I'm honestly tempted to go out for it, I had fun at Taters despite missing out on cans right at the taproom door.

    dude, if I didn’t have the family vibe going, I’d probably have a shit ton of fun in line.

    DDH DMD is tasting as beautiful as ever from the can.

    As I said before, I don’t get the fuss about Cashmere from the 12 ounce pour I had at the brewery, but this DMD is lovely.

    Make it year-round. Make it the house beer. Make it a shelf turd so I can always buy it. Please include this commentary in all informal polls.

    They have been going hardcore on Mosaic the last 6 months, that's why it's easy to grab... Nobody is hating it's just people are burnt out, Galaxy has been in a cold spell. So us Galaxy folks are excited, and Galaxy isn't your bag bc the x+Galaxy have been the bomb... The good news is you win on can releases DMD destoys on availablity vs SD.
