They're all the same. They don't differ batch to batch. They're good. Once you've had a ton of them. They lose their luster. I still love this IPA though. I just wish they'd change it up from batch to batch.

Much like Pliny. Crisp slightly sweet and real hoppy.

Arguably the perfect IPA. Just amazing.

Think of a piano note, and how it attacks then decays. It has a quick bite but then calms to the same mild bitternes. Medium body with average IPA carb. Almost burnt golden in color. Not much flavoring hops, plenty of bitter and lots of aroma. On the pungent side.

Very piney. Delicious. Update. The 12/13/13 is absolutely Delicious. Hoppy nose. Grapefruit rind and pine needles are present. Ok mouthfeel. Light coating on first taste. Bitter aftertaste comes strong and quickly fades. Overall a nice edition the to "enjoy by" series.

3-8-13. 22 oz bottle for 8 bucks in cincy. Took a minute to air before flavors came together. After that, pure joy. Just a notch below hopslam. Very tasty. Will keep buying until its gone.

Hoppy but not to bitter. Warming and pleasant. Fresh and light but heavy on alcohol cont.

Excellent piney ipa. Fantastic taste. One of the best DIPAs there is. Enjoy it more every time I find this gem.

03MAR13, Flying Saucer, Houston, TX Draft, pint Clear golden straw color, nice head film and great lacing. Large hop aroma, citrus, floral with pine. Smells great, tastes better. Wow. Just really really good. Flavor is smooth, with just great flavor melding, where the floral hop sweetness escorts the other flavors across the tongue with the utmost courtesy. I'd say there's just a tiny trace of bitterness at the end to make it a dry, crisp finish. No better finish. 100 on ratebeer.
