My 2L of Galaxy Single Hop is going too fast! This beer is unreal.

I personally thought Fiddlehead Mastermind was better as a straight Galaxy hopped beer, found the HF just a little thin for my tastes. Still tits though.

I thought Sue fresh >>> E. fresh. Haven't had an aged E. Probably time to change that soon.

So much this. Sue is amazing. Haven't had E. since release and I wasn't a huge fan back then.

Anybody done something resembling a Soigne vertical recently, including the newest batch? I've never done fresh vs. aged head-to-head before.

I saved one, was planning on doing that this weekend. Don't have the first batch though.

 

[JCastle1]

Would be interesting to try the first batch next to the newer batches since I'm 99% sure they got rid of the hibiscus.

Where did you hear Mastermind was all Galaxy? I have a hard time imagining there isn't a metric fuckload of Amarillo in there.

I honestly don't remember, someone said that when we were up there for the October Alchemist truck sale.

I still have one from b1 and 2x of the other three batches. I can say unequivocally that b1 (fresh and aged) is my favorite by a long way. I'd go as far to say it's my favorite HF beer ever. Subsequent batches while enjoyable are way down on my list.

Soigne B1 was a revelation. I think it was NYCBUCKEYE who threw a bottle in as an extra when I asked him to pick me up a Florence and a growler on one of his trips up. Ended up being my 2nd fave HF bottle (besides Flora).

First batch was great this past fall. Huge huge huge lime. Hibiscus was pretty minimal, just helped reinforce other flavors I think.

Thank god for the four bottle soigné limit got one of the last two or three allocations. Almost no wait at all and there were no fill limits. Even better, this batch of Susan and Double Citra are incredible. Great trip to hill farm and can't wait to get back after the construction.

Soigne sold out. "In the pipeline: Arthur. Convivial. Anna."

Yup, had a Double Citra 750 last night. Incredible!

Intrigued to see what the next release is. We're almost at Norma release time! Looks like a fantastic week to head up there for lots and lots of growler fills. No HF bottles available will keep the crowds down.

Also, do we know if Birth of Tragedy did get bottled yet? dat extended aging...

Do you wipe front to back or back to front? Or do you do some Street Fighter **** and go DOWN, DOWN, UP, DOWN?

Per Instagram, Norma was just labeled. Release details to follow on website.

Yeah, I'd guess that will be a month at least, given how brett beers get conditioned...

That is a big difference. Thanks for clarifying.
