That batch was Flora-level good from the day it was released. I drank all mine I think it's better than Flora b6. I like Florence but I don't universally love Florence like some people. That batch is NOTICEABLY different and wildly better than other recent Florence batches.

agree. **** is mind blowingly good. have a few bottles left and am very happy

 

[Rich2]

sooooo, spontaneously fermented citrus beer?

 

[iong516]

**** I gotta pop one. I've always considered 7/14 Flo to be "Magic Flo." Gotta revisit 4/15.

7/14 is the truth

This batch has been straight gold the last few months. The last one I had was Flora-level good.

Phil mentioned this batch was fantastic right out of the gate when I was ordering. Immediately doubled my Flo purchase. Thanks Phil!

7/14 is magical fo sho. Can't wait to see how this mag is doing in a couple weeks. Don't have any more reg bottles left

I'm gonna be heading up Thursday. S&S #3 is on for the first time in a long time. Anyone got any intel? Very much looking forward to trying it.

I saw that too, looking forward to trying this. The "S&S" series I've had have all been amazing so I'm assuming this will be as well.

You can always do a small taster first if you want a better idea before buying.

 

[JulianB1]

Ugh need S&S3, only one of the series I've never had. Plus I love Columbus hops and always enjoy Harlan.

Had a great trip to HF on Saturday. I was surprised by how quiet the place was at open. When I was picking up bottles I was the only person in the retail space. Was kind of a funny experience, thinking back to my first handful of trips up there when we'd sit in the zig-zagging line for a few hrs.

I had a pour of Earl on nitro which was a real treat, and was in & out in <1 hr. Looking forward to cracking a S&S 6 later this evening!

The copy for CD17 conjured up a memory of another mention of 'citrus coolship'. Curious about 'Cuvee de Tarpey'- bottled around 11 months ago, much like CD17, but with 4 beer components rather than 5 (this may be a false distinction, since it says '4 threads aged in wine barrels'). I wonder if that was just a working title for the same beer or something entirely different.

Jesus this week's bottle lineup is looking pretty damn epic.

CD17...most intriguing.

What the hell does "anti-Convivial Suarez" mean, though?

Dan Suarez and Matt Tarpey were both Assistant brewers at HF, whether that has any relevance or not...

I should be going up on Thursday, I've got you - msg sent.

 

[Shilt]

Anyone going to be there later in the afternoon Wednesday and want to possibly split an on-site bottle? I should be there by about 430 or so. Let me know.

 

[benz08]

Anyone driving up from jersey for a cannonball run Wednesday and want a passenger? I want to go but can't put the miles on my lease.

rent a car? $30/day from EWR

 

[raqnroll]

So when everyone goes up this week to drop $120 on your CD allotment, make sure you bring an extra $120 for the full case of Soigne. #balance #reallygoodoutofthegate

 

[Os]

anyone going up Fri/Sat?

 

[JTCelica]

I'm going to be up there around 1pm solo today, let me know if anyone else is in the same boat and wants to split a bottle.

 

[averagjoe3]

looking to make a Saturday am visit

 

[Respirologist]

I'll be there in about an hour in case anyone wants to say hi or kick me. Just look for an overweight guy with glasses and a goatee. That should narrow it down pretty easily............

 

[vonnegut21]

Looks like Being and Time is being served for on site consumption today

 

[seedavid]

I'll be up at opening next Thursday. Try to leave me some CD17, ya savages.

 

[Number45]

For those keeping track at home, two straight Wednesdays have now seen b1 Cherry Flora and Being & Time. Nice reward for the midweek trip up to HF.

I'd be interested in hearing how busy it is up there today. Sure hoping CD17 and M&C last through Saturday at those limits.
