    Big NY launch today for Collective Arts out of Hamilton Ontario. Haven't tried the beer yet but the artwork is killer. Was supposed to go to the VIP party but I can't make it. I hate passing up free beer

    Yes. Fantastic beer but pretty spendy


    Drinking their session IPA now - State Of Mind. Tons of flavor for a 4.4% beer. Very citrus and more bitterness then I expected but it doesn't linger too long. Quite good

    I find that most sessions IPA's have a weird astringent bitterness to them. Like without the malt its straight AA bitterness.

    That being said Oscar Blues Pinner is a good sessions IPA; not as astringent.

    If you like stuff from Green Flash you should try their Sea to Sea Lager, its a great take on a German/Bavarian zwickle. Very crisp, dry, and a total crusher!

    That is probably one of my favorite beers from FW, aside from the Luponic Distortion. It can be pricey, I sell it for $14 at my store but to me it's well worth it. It's their take on a New England Style IPA, so it's unfiltered and juicy (think fruity not sweet) but it still has a heavy West Cost influence so it is a very clean drinking beer. If you're local to where I am I might be able to hook you up with some :thumbsup:

    IPA with strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. Very small hint of strawberry on the nose. Just tasted IPA-ey while fresh from the fridge. Let it get a little warmth and started getting some hints of chocolate and strawberry on the palate. No vanilla though.

    Will check out that Sea to Sea. :thumbsup: Sounds like my kind of beer.
    Have seen the Luponic too. Need to try that.
    I had a Union Jack on tap a while back and it really impressed me.

    I saw the Fortem at my place. It would have been easy to spend a lot of $ on beer yesterday, I saw so many tasty offerings.

    :thumbsup:
