Gosh, I would've come down for that. Plus outside seating...A+

^ Pretty much sums it up. CD15 has more of a crisp finish and mango in the back of the tounge. CD17 had this funky citrusy aroma and delivered in the taste. Both excellent and can't go wrong with either.

Seems like people are trading them 1:1 on the ISO:FT forums (I've seen 3 trades just now on the first page) likely just to tick them. I personally like CD15 > CD17. However I eat mango everyday when in season so I'm biased.

I think I'm higher on CD 17, we did a side by side last week. Just tremendous balance. Great citrus/tart with depth.

I absolutely love the the Mango. Have yet to have 17. I saw all the flurry on the first page recently and didn't know if now was the time...Cheers!

Well sounds like i'll be opening a 15 soon...... Will report my findings on how its doing.

Any advice for two Ohioans heading to FoFA?

The DD situation is a curve ball...my buddies wife might join us. Strong possibility she will hate my face by the end of the trip

Currently booked at BW in Stowe.

Do they normally have any retail hours the saturday of fofa? If i don't get a ticket i'll probably DD for a couple of my buddies who go them, but would like to get some retail goods as well.

Last year is the only time I've gone to FoFA. Retail was open for bottle sales, but not growler fills or any on-site pours. Who knows if things will be any different with the new tasting/growler fill area up and running. Wouldn't shock me if they closed though so that employees can attend/pour for FoFA.

Looking to pop a Convivial this weekend, any recent experiences with how the 02/15 or the 07/15 batches are drinking? Any perceived as "better"?

 

[DCLA]

How about the Friday before FoFA? Will they be filling growlers and have bottle sales to go and in house? I'm debating whether to go up Friday morning from the MA area or Saturday morning early to hit FoFA.

Anyone remember what bottles were available the Friday before FoFA last year?

Both are better, so both are worse. Pop some bottles and have a fantastic holiday weekend!

Almost 2 years to the day I last visited HF I'll be flying out for FoFA.

Friday before FoFA had bottles and growler sales. I believe bottles available were Vera Mae (2pp), Clara, Dorothy, Stainless Florence and maple syrup.

I thought I remember the Saturday of FoFA retail was open for bottle purchases only (no growlers or onsite pours) but I think it was only open in the morning before the fest started, maybe 10:30-12ish?

Thanks. Vera Mae bottles would be awesome as well as everything else.
