First time having a full bottle. Had it at GABF, but the 1-2 oz pour wasn't nearly enough to truly appreciate this beer.

Had 3 of a six pack of Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' last night. That's a mighty fine beer. Tastes like lots of Simcoe hops in there!

It uses honey malt and honey, the honey flavor is most likely from the honey malt not the honey. The beers I've made with honey malt have a sweeter honey flavor, as opposed to beers where I've used honey and not honey malt.

As much as I love RR, Vinnie and his beers I see him becoming just another of many kick ass brewers on the scene. Honestly I think he needs to step up his game. He's been doing the Pliny thing for a long time now, he should release another IIPA. It's what the people want.

This. Kind of like McDonald's and McRib. Only a select number of restaurants carry it now, and only during certain periods. There are even websites devoted to McRib sightings. If they made it a menu staple, it would lose it's elusive appeal and wouldn't sell nearly as well.

Just got my trade from allenH a couple hours ago and now I am sitting down to lunch with a Jai Alai and it's some really good beer. It's got all the hallmarks of a great IPA, but there's something in the background that I can't quite identify, but I like. There's a tiny bit of sweetness up front, but that's not it. I don't know what it is, but it's a great beer. Thanks, Allen.

Another from my new friend allenH. This smells so amazing. Roasty toasty goodness with caramel, coffee and toffee. Tastes just as good if not better.

Cool - you figured out how to work big beers into a low-carb diet!
