Thankyou @both. Shall hunt in my ville.
After having it, don't search too hard. It has some nice flavors, but very boozy. Glad I only purchased a 4 pack. If they had dropped at least 1.5% ABV I think it would have been better, but who knows. Reminds me of when people run out to buy hopslam.

That's exactly why I haven't gotten any. Had a feeling it would be a little too alcohol forward. I feel the same way about The Shape of hops to come. Just way too Boozy.

I'd like to at least try this batch of Nimble Giant, but lately I lean the same way with DIPAs. 8 to 8.5% seems to be the sweet spot for me. Sweet/caramel malts sometimes make the first few sips taste good, but then I often have trouble finishing them.

In Orlando/Altamonte Springs for the 4th, so far struck out on white oak jai alai. troygreer any advice?

BM me when you get back and we can meet up at BG. I still have that Citra Saison for you and can give you a few Nimble Giants.
 
Not really. A small debate over whether or not Nimble Giant is good.

I thought it was pretty decent, but it didn't really stack up to the Hoof Hearted DIPA I had the night before.

Ahh. I just drank a few Nimble Giants, I think it's way better than any Hoof beer I had, though I really don't like their stuff, so there is that.

Thanks for the cliff notes!
