Had it yesterday on tap at Whole Foods of all places.  I'm hooked.  Still can't find it in stores.  C'mon distribution channels!

Found this at the grocery store today, and got a sixer. Whoa. It is very good. I really like the spice notes I am getting in the finish.

Love that pungent aroma. Great hop character.

I had it on tap over the weekend. Intensely hoppy. The level of hoppiness without green flavor is admirable. In some respects, it is overwhelmingly hoppy. My wife was complaining loudly with every one of my burps the smelled of eating a handful of fresh hops or when I'm pounding out hop plugs after harvest.

Not excessively bitter and the malt backbone is solid.

Very good stuff. I had Hop JuJu the other day. Also very good. Sunshine daydream session IPA also good. Trail Head also good... They do hoppy beers very well lol. Shakedown stout is a very nice American stout.

Kinda high jacked the thread... I haven't had it either. Hop Stalker was good too. Fat Heads does beer well. They'd take off fairly well if they distributed across the country.

I'd like to drain several bottles of it into a glass if I could find it. However, I do have a Head Hunter in the fridge  :P

 ;D. 'complaining loudly'.      Chuckling out loud here.  Good stuff.

Can't wait to try it given some of the statements here; still have not seen it.

I am Hunting it, and will go on record again saying I absolutely LOVE hop burps.  :o
