UPDATE:

First three 6 packs I got were amazing... lacked a little in staying power on the "back end" of a sip, but the hop profile was new and held its own flavor even when preceded by a more powerful IPA (sucks, gandhi, etc.)

The last couple I have gotten have been as dissapointing as the first couple were exciting... I had a hunch that the immediate attention this got might be a bad thing and I fear that might be the case.

As it stands right now, I wouldn't recommend this, and that is a shame, because the first couple batches they released really WERE delicious. I'll stick with Sucks.

I hope they go back and apply that "small batch" mentality to this again. Maybe dial it back from a year-round brew until they know they can maintain craft quality under high volume.
