    Had Neon Vibes tonight; nice floral vibes on this one, with hints of mango & cream. Another winner since they switched to Begyle! Their IPA's are can't-miss for me lately. Can bias?!

    Agreed last two cans from them have been spot on. Really enjoyed takers and leavers. Neon vibes makes it 2 in row and looking forward to the next one.

    They have any plans to do a canned stout release?

    Neon Vibes felt like a step back to me. I preferred each of their other canned releases. I'll still grab several 4 packs of their next one, though.

    I had Neon Vibes at The Beer Cellar the other day and really liked it. It reminded me somewhat of Mosaic Pseudo Sue when that beer is firing on all cylinders.

    I'm still a megafan, but No Bad Days also disappointed me. The coconut was really lost against the vanilla and chocolate flavors.

    It was pretty bad. The ingredients sounded like pastry heaven but it was, I don't know, messy? Flavors were all over the place & none really shined. Glad I only bought one.

    I had my first disappointing IPA from this crew since the Begyle era began...Basic Set had a nice mouthfeel but tasted more like a cream ale than an IPA. Super mild & kinda dull.

    Oh well...can't win 'em all!

    Heh. Naturally I considered it to be a rebound after my disappointment with Neon Vibes....

    passionfruit?!? No peppers, onions or vegetal flavor? Do they even know how/when to release Galaxy hopped hazes?

    Are these releases still at Begyle (brewed I know but I mean can sales)? I noticed the post said distro but didn’t emphasize coming in for it

    Just my opinion but I think Green Clouds may be the best beer they have canned thus far. Really dialed this one in.

    I saw plenty of Green Clouds at Arlington Hts Binnys and wanted to grab a 4-pack. But I just couldn’t pull the trigger at $17.99. Just too steep for me.

    I get these styles are more expensive but after plunking $16 for Galaxy Bowl last week and add this...budget gets drained quick .

    And here I thought I overpaid for it. Bought my first Saint 4pk the other day (not to mentioned my first purchase of a Saint Errant beer period. Slacker I am) and was impressed. Wish the galaxy in Galaxy Bowl tasted like the galaxy in Green Clouds without the wait. And yes I know there is also Citra in Green Clouds

    That’s becoming my issue. GB was tasty but I didn’t think it differentiated itself to deserve a $16/4-pack premium. I unfortunately am too poor to keep up with these releases at the price point.

    Does anyone know if these gypsy breweries distribute their beers to bars? A pint is becoming good enough in my book to continue contributing to local beer scene. (Yes, duh, I realize a pint would be more $/oz.)
