    I don't have any plans to drink the BVW so it'll show up again.

    The Olde Rabbit's Foot right out of the gate was nice as was the Cantillon and Oude Tart. I'd take Crusher over Heady any day of the week but Focal has something weird going on with it. Is there Mosaic in it? Unfortunately the most memorable things were ones that were bad. That 5 Sciences was awful. I thought Cascade was fairly highly regarded. Surely they aren't all so poorly executed. Figaro was good but the Strawberry and Elderberry were a mess. I'm not a fan of chili peppered beers. Luckily there were only a hundred of them.

    I forgot all about the Olde Rabbit's Foot to kick things off. I always loved that beer and thought it is holding up nicely. The Cascades are good for what they are, which is lacto bombs. They lack a depth of complexity, but I enjoy them for what they are, and I always have an Apricot one in my cellar.

    At the Beerhive share, I thought the IPA you sent was pretty similar to Focal in all honesty so this comes as a surprise to me.

    Haven't had The Crusher yet but I thought Focal was definitely better than Heady.

    Take that @shuggy! Your IPAs taste like Alchemist IPAs. Zing!
