    I forget the exact price but Specs Hulen had it for ~$8. I don't think there was a limit, but I only grabbed one and left plenty behind.

    I got two bottle from Spec's Smith St. the day they were released. On Wednesday I did a side by side comparison between More Cowbell, Hop Delusion, and RuinTen. I remember Hop Delusion and RuinTen standing out and being better than More Cowbell, but I still enjoyed More Cowbell. However, I don't remember much details of the comparison because I drank a bomber of each beer alone and was pretty F'ed up by the end of the night.

    Luckily no. But, I had a hell of a hangover most of the day Thursday, I was burping up DIPA all day. I don't plan on making that mistake again anytime time soon.

    Stone knows how to make IPA's and DIPA. I could drink Ruinten and enjoy by everyday and be happy.

    I've been an Enjoy By fan, but RuinTen is even better, IMO. Very impressed. :slight_smile:

    How is it different from ENjoy By?

    (Enjoy By is my favorite dIPA I've had so far..)

    Negative. They're completely different IIPA's and IMO trying to compare the two is apples/oranges.

    Not trying to compare, just saying which one I like more.

    However, if I said lets compare fruit, comparing apples and oranges would be perfectly fine. :wink:

    Found one (the last one) at Spec's on Jones and 290. Spring Valley Spec's and HEB Bunker Hill are still waiting on theirs.

    Let this beer warm up! When straight out of the fridge it's not as good as enjoy by, but as it warms the fruit flavors kick your mouth's ass and makes enjoy by seem weak!!!

    No limit at Bay Area Boulevard Specs this morning in Webster. Granted, there were only two left after I got four. :wink:

    I scooped up a couple bottles of Ruin Ten along with a bomber of Creme Brulee Stout from Whole Foods Arbor Walk. Tonight is going to be a good night.

    Just my palate, but I preferred Hop Delusion over RuinTen. More tropical flavor versus a slightly fuller, floral body on the RuinTen. Both excellent.

    I'd love to see the amount of cash they spend on hops for a batch like this.

    I had this along with Enjoy By the other night and it slayed Enjoy By. Enjoy By was my favorite brew from Stone.

    If anyone in the Houston area needs some, I have a couple of extra. I'm sure we can work something out. Picked up two extra for a friend, before I knew he found some.

    Just had one today, it is really good. I think I prefer Enjoy By just a little, but man this is good.

    Drinking it now - I enjoy Enjoy By better. Although I was expecting more in your face hops, this is very drinkable. At 10.8 gotta be careful with this...:wink:

    Just tapped this up at the FW Saucer (along with Avery 20)...Honestly the 20 is as good or maybe better although wildly different takes on a DIPA
