FotHB XVII: New Year, New Beer!

[RCope]

An awesome porch bomb from @Dgallo ... couldn't wait so quick chilled a can of his collab with Warbler...

A great double NEIPA!
A sneaky 8.2% abv with a very saturated hop flavor, great thick mouthfeel, and a sweet, but not cloying finish. Super fruity, with a tropical vibe. But there was a lot more...

 

[TwistedGray]

Okay! Here's the summary of everyone's picks. Once again, thank you to everyone who participated! Looking forward to trying some new beers!

Where are we at on this? Trying to determine an appropriate start time for the next one (says the guy who needs to brew).

 

[Dgallo]

@RCope and I picked each other and both packages have been received!

 

[RCope]

And from @Dgallo , a WCIPA with Talus, Galaxy, and Mosaic. An interesting hop combo that works. A bright bitterness with a dry finish. Generically fruity but clean with some minerality that helps pop the hop flavor. No caramel/crystal presence. An excellent beer!

 

[DrGMG]

I haven't heard from @palmtrees in 2 months.

Give me a bit and I'll get an updated list posted. I know we still have some people who need to get packages sent out (myself included). I'll let you know shortly.

Doesn't look like they've logged in since the end of March either...

Well, time to pull out the collective save. Everybody wanna send @DrGMG a bottle or two (ish) of HB?

Before we assume he's ghosted the trade (long-time member, after all), has anyone tried to reach out?

 

[JCasey1992]

Here's where we're at so far. Please let me know if I missed anyone. Still a few people haven't shipped yet (myself included) so please get those packages out ASAP. I've been taking care of my mother who just had a double knee replacement so I've been slacking as a result but I'm hoping this lights a fire underneath me to get my box out lol.

As for @DrGMG's box, I'm happy to send some brews out to make things right if that's what we decide to do but I also don't want to jump the gun and assume something more dishonest is happening. Let me know how you'd like me to help and I'll do what I can.

When you send him your box, add a letter asking if he plans to ship maybe.

I wasn't involved in this trade, so take this for what it's worth. But I have been following along. LOL

Why doesn't @JCasey1992 send his box to @DrGMG and send a letter to @palmtrees stating why?

I got stiffed in the commercial version very early on, and 2 months with no communication is definitely a sign of no intent to ship.

ETA: Unless JCasey already shipped and just hasn't heard from the recipient. Then there goes that plan.
