    Just bought a can of this and it is delicious, anyone know if this will be available year round or just a one time thing?

    The can in itself is ridiculously large. About the try my first.

    Saw it at Lukas and just couldn't bring myself to spend $7 on it. Glad to hear it's good. Maybe I'll go pick one up.

    Not a horrible price, almost the size of a bomber and 10% alcohol. Had it at the Burning Can festival and didn't really care for it, seemed boozy and very bitter. Had it yesterday at the taproom (on tap) and it was much more mellow and tasted really good. So as with tasting beer, so situational for me. Will definitely grab a can a get a 3rd opinion which should be enough. FYI, like the new Upslope taproom/brewery.

    I thought it was pretty good. Don't love the price, but I'll probably grab it from time to time if I know it's fresh

    I think it's fantastic. It is pretty boozy and malty, but that's what I like from an IIPA.

    Their new taproom is great, I work next door to it and am there probably too much. What's with all these Boulder breweries serving a dunkel at their tap room but never letting it hit a bottle/can? Upslope's is great, Avery's is downright exceptional. Can them!

    I enjoyed it, but the cat piss/Simco thing is a bit too much for me.

    Yeah I wasn't a huge fan. Not bad though. For the price I doubt I'd ever go for it again. Seems to already be a bit polarizing.

    For basically the same price Double Jack blows it out of the water to the point that it isn't comparable, but that's just my opinion.

    Yea, I thought it was decent at first sip, but the more I had it the hops & booziness didn't mesh well, seemed over done, even for an Imperial IPA. Good, but not great. I'll stick to Myrcenary.

    A few blocks from Avery. That area is crazy with new breweries!!! We went to Wild Woods, J. Wells, Upslope, BRU and Avery the other day all in the same area.

    it literally tastes exactly like their regular ipa but boozier, I expect more when new zealand hope are highlighted, at least their pumpkin and christmas ales are ok

    I had it on tap last week and I thought it was good but the price is just a couple dollars too high.

    for sure, but it's still to me a generic bitterness, I didn't get any real decent hop flavor
