I know for myself it is a little out of my price range, but I would sure love to give it a go at some point.
Latest S.A. Utopia release
Latest S.A. Utopia release
I bought 2 of the last 3 bottles at AJ's about 2 weeks ago. I got them at retail price and haven't treated myself to anything lately (still living like a college kid), but decided I would hold out on cracking the first one open until a special occasion. If you do find bottles, try to pick the ones that haven't been handled much. The promotion for the free glass would be easy to nab by someone with unscrupulous moral character.
From what I have heard, Utopias keeps very well after initially breaking the seal. Don't know from personal experience, still holding out for a special occasion...
I almost convinced myself to consider the arrival of my promotion glasses such an occasion, but held out. The glasses are pretty nice, though, for those of you interested.
They are made by Riedel and consist of 24+% lead crystal. They are very similar to Riedel's Single Malt Whiskey glass (https://glassware.riedel.com/c-866-sommeliers/p-96-single-malt-whiskey-glass)with just a bit of reinterpretation. They also have branding etched into the base. Very classy pieces.
I equate this brew with dating an NFL cheerleader. It can't possibly be as much fun as it looks.
Well, yeah, it probably is, but common guys like me don't ever have to worry about knowing for sure.
it's sweet, has a big alcohol bite, with notes of malt, maple, brown sugar, and some spices with no hop bitterness at all.
it's a great after dinner drink to sip on every once in a while.
