    Just cracked open a can. Pretty damn good IPA. Super true to the west coast style. Plus, cheaper than Furious.

    Anybody seen this yet?
    I got a trader out east that's looking for me to ship tomorrow.

    Edit - never mind, I see Bills post above.
    Looks like I'm going to F44 after work.

    That is nice, be interesting if it holds true for the majority of shops.

    I also think it would be interesting to do a blind tasting with this and a few IPA's like Saga, Size 7, Torpedo, etc, etc. I think in an odd way its a good sign that Overrated didnt blow me away, shows that many others have raised the bar, especially in regards to IPA's. I'm sure it will fly off the shelves regardless.

    This surprises me too. I don't know if I was expecting Abrasive prices, but I expected more than Furious. I'm happy to hear that.

    On a separate note, how does it compare to Bandwagon? Based on initial reviews, it's not quite as good. Oh, how I miss Bandwagon...

    What did you pay? And, what do you normally spend on Furious?

    Just wondering as I am paying $9.99 (plus tax) for Furious at my local.

    Town Hall Tap did that last year.

    Saga, Size 7, Furious, Masala, and Sweet Child, if I remember correctly.

    It was pretty easy to distinguish between them.

    Sorry, didn't mean to misinform. I haven't purchased it yet - I was going off of the previous quote from BeerBuyerBill about how the price was less than Furious. Like you, I was very surprised to hear this.

    P.S. $9.99 sounds about right for me, regarding Furious.

    Smells wonderful. Tastes a bit dull. Not the juicy hops you'd expect from a "west coast IPA."
