Good for the cost I thought.

I destroyed a six pack and bought another. My Costco had a mixed cases (PA, torpedo, white IPA, and coffee stout) as well and cases of the Otra Vez. I went for the mixed case.

The coffee stout is excellent, I wish they sold it in six packs.

My first bottle on Friday night. I guess I am in the minority. I may have found a poorly shipped/stored sixer. I found it to be overly bitter and out of balance. I did not get the fruity aromas or taste, just bitterness. I also tried the Otra Vez and loved it. We shared a bottle 3 ways on Tues and all 3 of us like it a lot. I had a second on Friday and was still very pleased. I did wind up with a head cold the rest of the weekend, so my nose and taster may have been a bit off, but not in a hurry to get to the other 5. Just my .02

I just had a horrible six pack of pale ale as well. First in a long time.

I tried the otra vez. I stand by gose is gross. I love prickly pear cactus and love salt, I usually like grapefruit in beer. But that was foul.

Last time I bought SNPA it was not good, first time in a long time. It was out of balance on the sweet side, with next to no hop character. Had a wet cardboard, oxidized character. Bottled just over a month prior by the freshness date. Doesn't happen often from them.

And shouldn't happen either. I would only expect that to be found in a much older batch that has been sitting on the shelves for too long.

not trying to be a SN apologist here, but I know from experience that when I start to get a cold all beers, mine included start to taste just like you described - bitter, lacking aroma, etc. 

I bought another 6 of the BC this weekend - Whole Foods had a special $7.49 for 6ers, $13.99 for twelves, hard to pass that up.

I'm still hoping I have this bug kicked by this weekend and I'll put the remaining 5 to the test. I hope I was wrong, as I also tend to like almost everything I try from them, especially now being fresher from the Eastern brewery
