This was bottled about a month ago now. Has anyone seen it in Mass. or NH? Started to see some reviews of this year's pop-up in the last week, so it's out in parts of the country. Typically 2-3 weeks for SN beers to hit the east coast, so about time to start hunting it down fresh!
They had it at Nikki's Liquors in RI on Saturday. So its made it out there already. Haven't seen it in my native CT yet though.
Though according to my taste the balance works a bit against the wet-hopped aspect, it remains a most excellent brew and a great value for the money.
As each year goes by I look forward to "wet hop" beers less & less. Used to be a novelty but there are countless ones nowadays. IMO they don't bring anything more to the table (for hop lovers at least) than dry hop beers...in fact I think Ive come to the conclusion I like dry hop beers more. Wet hop beers to me are overly grassy & oily. I dislike the SN Hemisphere beers more & more each year. Totally convinced the "wet hop" theme is a marketing gimmick more than anything. The beer sure doesn't taste any better with them even with a master hop handler like SN.
