Definitely one of the "good" IPA's...the 90 min is really good too, but a bit harder to find....the 120 min I've yet to locate, but of course I only look when I'm in an area where its sold.

Not Your Father's Root Beer... [expletive] amazing. The guy at the counter said it's fantastic with cream vodka or with ice cream as a float. I think I'll try some of those variations as well...

I just went to the Dogfish Head Alehouse last night and had the Palo Santa Marron on tap. It was as amazing as you think.

Apparently, there is a God awful trend in DC right now to purposely make beers at very low ABV. I've even seen as low as 2.8%. It's the stupidest [expletive] thing I've ever heard of.

I know I brought this up before, but I've discovered Session Ale, which has 5 grams of carbs and tastes MUCH better than any light beer, but not fantastic.

Nice find for a diabetic who has his bgs wrecked by craft beers.

I don't know of its wide availability.

my local craft beer store is letting people try the Synek beer for free tomorrow. Even at free -I'm not sure it's worth the trip.
