I'm also drinking Mother's 'lil Helper at this moment and enjoying it. Not really a new choice but it's always very drinkable. Saved a little Tank7 and some other stuff I've forgotten for the holiday.

Good, but not great or particularly interesting. A little thick and malty for my preference. A Euro attempt at an American ipa.

New Belgium Fresh Hop IPA

Awesome. The smell/nose is incredible, like hops were dipped in the beer right before you drink it. It smells like you are walking through a forest of pine. Crazy and delicious (and I've never been a big fan of New Belgium).

I have some Boulevard Double Wide (750ml) to take to a thanksgiving party tomorrow. But wish I had purchased another New Belgium Fresh Hop as well.

happy thanksgiving all

I picked up some Boulevard Reboot White IPA today, they sold out BBQ here this morning... :(

That New Belgium started good for me, but the last drink gave me the worst bitter beer face I've ever had...

I didn't even know about the 2XMas. Their 2XIPA is one of my favorites.

For some reason, Tank 7 has been available in Georgia for 5 bucks. Not a sale...just 5 bucks. I was going to ask if they had it priced wrong, but just bought it instead.

The New Belgium is not crazy hoppy*. But it is very piny in aroma and taste.

* ok, it is pretty bitter...but the smell kind of distracts you, and i have a high tolerance for bitterness

I'd buy all the Tank 7 I could find then. I buy it at 8.99 at my liquor store and 7.99 when Costco has it. Lately I have taken a dislike to NB products. Don't know what's going on with it. Drinking Goose Island Matilda ATM. One of my favorites.

Yum.

Because of this post, I picked up a six as well - along with a case of Lagunitas Sucks.

Lagunitas is quickly catching Bells as my favorite brewery.

A case of Sucks? This will be a quality month for you.
