Found a new one to try. It is a Brett IPA that has to age for awhile.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in a year, with err'bodies ...

I quickly glanced at the date when I bought it. I thought it was 4-20-16. Oops…..I guess by the time I sample it to see if I like it, it will all be gone.

I did not like their Enjoy before 4/20. That one is interesting.

A big deal's been made about Toppling Goliath beers being available here, now, so ...

I picked up singles of 3x, and here's the most popular from what I've gathered on social media ...

It's piney and pretty dank, and a little dry ... not too shabby ...

Surprised to learn after the fact that it's an all-Citra beer, which I almost brewed an instance of ... I would have been a little disappointed, I think ...

I liked the Columbus/Citra beer I brewed A LOT more than this ...

I didn't love Citradelic, either ...

Then again, CitraDog was the shit ...

I'm not a huge saison guy, but this one is pretty good. New Holland makes some good beers.

I love it.

We like the same styles of beer, but differing examples within the categories, I guess ...

It's okay though, I'm drinking it without suffering ...

I think there are a couple of yeasties/hops that I really don't like ... which are popular ...

For instance, Cascade hops ...

And, possibly WLP002/S-04 ...

Next Toppling Goliath ...

Another dank-diggity beer from them ...

I know I like Golden Promise, and now I know I kind of like Nugget - at least, enough that I can see blending some into IPA's I make ...

Enjoyed a nice one earlier ...

These folks are on a trajectory to the top ...
