    I think it hits shelves early next week, but got to sample some the other night and thought it was very good? Anyone else tried? Thoughts?

    Liked it. Will make a good outdoor beer once the weather cooperates.

    I saw it at two stores last week. Very tasty!

    Bought a sixpack. It's a great beer and would like to see this around long term if sourcing weren't a problem.

    Drinking one right now (single from TC Craft in New Hope).

    Pretty tasty IPA, though not much for the nose & not very hoppy.
    It's a nice session ale.
    Their EPA is a little better IMO (but with higher ABV)
    I didn't even notice how much they wanted for the six pack - I'll need to call him back.

    But probably won't get it again if it's anything over $8

    Had a couple at the Rathskeller after a tour a couple weeks back. My wife and I finished our second sixer of it. I really enjoy this beer, she loves it.

    Nose is a bit lacking, but pine and citrus are there.
    Flavor is hoppy (citrus and pine come through well), dark carmel and biscuits as well a slight tobacco background (reminds me of Horizon Red, so I assume this is a yeast characteristic).

    Its ten bucks essentially everywhere although MGM has them on sale currently for 8.99

    Tax is included in that price, right? I'll have to check my store, but it seems like I paid $7.99 before tax and that is their regular price on Summit.

    No, Unchained is two bucks more then the regular line-up, unless a store had it mismarked.

    I am pretty sure that I paid $8.99 at South Lyndale, but I could be wrong.

    It was good - just not $9 good & definitely not $10 good (IMO)

    Could be certainly, Im speaking in generaliaties in regards to the price. I dont recall ever seeing Unchained for anything but 9.99, but I dont really frequent that many different stores.

    9.99 by me but real impressed with it for the abv...one of the best lower abv beers I've had...a ton of flavor...drinks like an IPA weight wise

    It's a solid beer, but at the price point, I'd rather drink All Day IPA.
     
    evilgenius1917 and Otis32 like this.

    For sure. All Day has a little more of a thin mouthfeel than Organic but the hop aroma and hop flavor is a step above.

    Having said that it is still one more very solid offering from Summit.
