    I only ask because with me living outside of Madison I can't just get in the car and drive to Madison to buy something the minute it's released.

    Oh, I don't think these will sell quickly. You'll see them around for quite some time.

    As good, if not better than Beyond the Pale IPA. Point is on to something and I am looking forward to the other IPAs. It feels much more like 80 IBUs that 40 on my palate.

    I'll have to try that. I though Beyond the Pale was good for the price point.

    You should pass on this one. It has overwhelming peach flavor mixed with bitter cascade hops. It just doesn't work...

    This one is very nice. I like the Sorachi Ace hops.

    Picked this up based on the low key hype from @Ri0...

    And it is a solid 9-pack of IPA for 14-15 bucks. The three quality beers would all key in around 3.75 +/-, especially considering the price and the brewery they came from. The peachy/mango wine coolers... Not so much, haha.

    The White IPA really does a great job highlighting the Sorachi Ace hops and lets them shine through, impressive. While the One Shot IPA is interesting, and the Calypso hops have a taste that is worth visiting. And finally, the Spruce IPA does a good job with the use of Cascade and spruce tips... Letting the spruce just be an accent to the hops, not overwhelming them... More like the winter spruce tip beer from Alaskan, than the Sproose Joose from Black Husky, for pine tree impact.

    Would be a great buy for a BBQ or party, considering you could pass off the mango IPA to others... Or a good fridge filler pack. I actually could chug a mango IPA after mowing the lawn... If it would finally warm up around here, haha.
