Anyone open an Elab 3 yet?

so that new Leaves of Grass... color me impressed.

not a style I gravitate towards normally, but it was so well executed, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

again, call me a (distant) homer... but it blows my mind they make and are known for awesome saisons and hoppy beers.. but then can make a style like this and hit the mark so flawlessly

it was a nice change of pace/surprise for me...

not saying it's as good as Aaron, but it made the same impression on me on how I don't think of that style for HF but they completely nailed it.

hoping to head up on XMas eve.. anybody going to be there?

Glad I listened to my gut and bought some against a friend's recommendation.

It's good; a little on the sweet side. Smooth barrel character

Madness & Civilization #4 was a bad beer and I still want my money back/exchange for Flora Cuvee +

M&C4 wasn't a bad beer fresh. it did take a downhill turn some months afterwards (as did M&C3 as of a few months ago). it was never my favorite, like Daybreak, but it wasn't bad when they released it.

I mixed some of the BA maple syrup into an infected BA Everett and it was good. Maybe his bad ones just need a hit of that syrup.

Lol. Not really srs but...

It was a bad beer when i had it. And hf couldn't have cared less. Hell, even in Chicago a brewery would have given me a credit for their bad beer or at least issued an apology.

FWIW, I loved MC4 fresh. Haven't had it since then, but have heard nasty stuff on some infected bottles.

[AutumnBeerLove]

I like the fancy new explanation of Abner

Same as it ever was.

Wurst of the froots imo, still flora

Ermahgerd. All the feels

That was my opinion on the draft version at Jackie O's. Good but sweet

I guess my question was, is this a new batch

gotcha.. i'll probably head down mid afternoon.. interested to see if some Christmas goodies are lingering like last year... couldn't pull the trigger on the Santa Shaun totes... dat Art tote doe!

I don't think we will find too many with that same opinion. I wish all the Flora could be Satsuma Flora.

It was also one of the better of the 4 releases from the infamous DBD day. I remember the backlash from that release and how Shaun stopped posting new beer releases on his site for the next month or so. Funny to think that was over 2 years ago.

It was also the last time we saw Bourbon Damon. Where is that old dog hiding these days?

It was great fresh, agreed. But I would get rid of any bottles you have left.

- 2012 Vintage - Flora aged on satsuma mandarins

What, you don't enjoy jumping from a moving car to get in line for beer?

Drank my two bottles fresh. I tend to drink BA HF stuff pretty quickly.
