If this is the one you brought to the split it was great. Can't wait to crack the bottle.

Yup, same one. I had just kegged it the night before and bottled it that morning, so I figure a couple weeks of age will do it some good. Was really fresh the morning of the exchange.Keith wrote:If this is the one you brought to the split it was great. Can't wait to crack the bottle.

This was amazing and I really wish I had another. Or several more. Amazing aroma, excellent bitterness, but not lacking in balance. Fucking great beer. Thanks!

Re: 2015 Advent December 15 - Hammerhead DIPA
Another solid beer, I got a nice nose of hops as soon as the pour started, got a bit of alcohol as it warmed up but the malt body balanced everything out very well. 
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

My bad, I drank it all before I thought of anything helpful or insightful to say. So, take that as a compliment!

Thanks man, loved it. None of that harsh dryhop astringent character.
