    Just curious if anyone who has had this batch has noticed it tasting a little off. Maybe it is just me but I guess I will never know if I do not ask. Yes I have had it before... a lot, my favorite beer from them besides Abrasive.

    Thanks and cheers

    I had some with that date and for some reason all 4 cans leaked during shipping. Sent a bunch of other Surly too and nothing else leaked in the same box. Sent more Overrated to that trader with a different date and it arrived fine (packed the same way).

    I love Overrated. What seemed off about it?

    I also love it, this 4 pack seems to have a slight sourness to it.

    Agreed, but I had a can of 9/4 on 11/4.

    Picked up a four pack yesterday, and I thought it seemed different. Can't say it was a sourness, but just a lack of hops. I would have pegged these to be old cans if the date wasn't on the bottom. I ended up assuming my palate was in a different place last night.

    Got a email back from Corey at Surly that says they had seamer issues on the 9/26 Overrated, they tried to get as much as possible off the market but could not get it all, which is very understandable. One of those times when it was not my special beer mind playing tricks on me!:slight_smile:

    I'm tempted to write up a slated comment about quality control and PR but i won't.
