Just saying I would have been down for it fresh. Drank a bottle recently and it’s just a shell of it’s former self compared to what it was at the start of January when it was released. Hops fade quickly in that beer.
I love a fresh DIPA, but also kinda dig the barleywineish sweetness of an aged one. I picked up some ~year old Abrasive at Beer Geek Chrstmas. s’good. Very different from fresh, though, for sure.
Isn’t it a bit late for HopSlam? It was released over 2 months ago.
Ben, it’s a Hopslam firkin. What more do you want? Drink and enjoy!
I think Ben has a valid point…

I prefer to see it as the pint is half full.
