    Hello. I'm looking for opinions/comments. I'm wanting to purchase Overrated from France 44 for an event on 11/15. Canned on 8/15. Any thoughts on drinkability? I'm in no way a member of the "any IPA over a week old (etc.) is too old" club. Would love some comments from the Surly drinking experts. Thanks.

    I'm sure there is fresher Overrated around town, but if I was in a store and saw the date you saw I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

    I haven't seen anything newer than 8/15 actually. Are they still canning this? I think it would be great still if it was kept cooled since canning.

    Yeah Surly stuff holds up great. 3 months is not old. It'll taste good. Really fresh stuff might taste a tad bit better but it'll be good still.

    The 9/5's were going down good in the boat today.

    Would've rather been drinking sours though...
    Heard that was fun.
