Have you tried it yet?
They have it on tap at Surf Taco every time it comes out. It's nice that it's fresh. With that being said, I was never bowled over by the taste.
It was OK, didn't seem worth all the hype.
What did you think?
I tried it last round, not this one yet.
I thought it was Dang GOOD!
But yeah, to be honest, it is probably a little over-hyped. I really like Ruination too.
It's not a Pliney, that's for sure. And, this one is a little better than Enjoy By too

But, it is still a great beer. All the sweeter because for a long time Tx had these really backwards and arcane beer laws that kept this from distributing here. It all had to do with labeling BS, and Stone has the painted bottles. Also, Tx has the TABC (Tx Alc Bev Commision) that is just another BS hurdle for brewers that want to distribute here.
Oh yeah, those silly arcane laws....guess who paid the most lobbyists to keep them on the books as long as they did? Annheiser Busch! Because it was a huge benefit to them! A couple of the local craft breweries finally got enough attention to get the laws changed.
So, the old laws would not allow a brewery to sell beer onsite, they had to give it away. If you took a tour of a brewery, the brewery was forbidden by law to tell you where to go to buy their beer! And, if it was over a certain ABV, then the label MUST say "Malt Liquor". Even if it was not malt liquor, the law required the label to mis-identify the contents!
Thanks a lot Annheiser Busch!
