    No matter how fried my palate gets I can still taste/enjoy the flavor of this beer....love it!

    I personally think Firestone's Easy Jack is better but everyone's palatte is different. I picked up some honey notes in Stone IPA which I thought were distracting.

    Hope no derails this with the "poorly constructed" blah, blah blah. Had two tonight.

    Some times I don't want a pale ale, want a bigger bite and don't want the buzz.

    Put it in cans and bring Stone to NC---Go To kicks the other low ABV stuff to the curb.

    Correct me if I'm wrong; but I heard that Go To uses the same hop bill as the Enjoy By beers, but at a lower concentration. That would explain the super crazy aromatics and easy drinking flavor!

    My favorite 'session IPA' so far, but I personally can't wait for DayTime to return!

    Mosaic, Citra, Ahtanum, Cascade, Crystal, 06300, El Dorado, Magnum, Sterling

    There's already a clone out there, basically first wort hopped with magnum then everything else at 10 minutes or less and dry hopped

    I am a big fan of this one as well. Almost gone through another 6 pack

    I drank 4 cases of this in a couple of weeks and burned myself out on it. Super dry which kinda kills all other beers after and in between. My favorite session beer so far is Prolonged Enjoyment by Short's

    Everything about this beer is awesome.....except for the price. My local stores do Go-To at $12-13 a sixxer, and Founders All-Day cans at $18 for a 15-pack.

    If they could make it the same value that Founders did I would buy a pack every week.

    It's $9 a sixer in AZ. Still a little steep for low abv but it tastes great by the pool.
