I had one Sunday...AWESOME beer! Great balance for an extremely hoppy beer. Kind of comes across as a session Imperial, despite the contradiction.
Think it hit the market here about a week ago.
Agreed.
This is SN Pale turned up a notch. Great balance.
I even prefer it over my 2 favorite IPA's, GLBC's "Commodore Perry", & Clipper City's, "Loose Cannon". CP has a dry aftertaste that bothers me at times. And the the latest LC I have bought has been light struck. Torpedo finishes clean. Like the SN pale does, except with a bit more hop bite.
Good job, Sierra Nevada.

After the Erdinger I went to the Julius Echter Hefe Weiss Dunkel, then a Kilt Lifter, finishing the night with a Duchy Originals Organic English Ale,
Buenos Noches folks
There are 3 in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and one in Mad-town (as I know you often travel I-94). Check out their site for addresses. Though be forewarned: The Winterfest, as the name implies, is seasonal.

Heading to Blue Gray today. I worked ahead so I could take today off and come in around noon tomorrow. My accountant comes and I guess I should be there then to pay my people. But then it's back to the Blue Gray Fri. night and Saturday. I've got to stop by Old Dominion this morning to pick up a keg of the Baltic Porter from Favio.

Well, a Torpedo slushie -- the local good paint store is having some cooler problems. I capped the bottle and went to pour -- dribble. Then the slush started to flow from the bottle neck! Yah. Called the store to let 'em know.
Beyond that, and after a little thawing -- and I'll have to allow the rest of the sixer to thaw slowly, I like this. It's a cross between the Pale Ale & Celebration (I can see the similarities to Celeb that some have been reporting). But I was having a Hop Hankering, and this hits the spot. I'll try to give a better assessment on a little more settled bottle soon.

Sounds like eveyone is enjoying the Torpedo. I asked my local paint store to look into getting some. They are trying to. I'll let you know when I try it. Sounds great.

This evening, Samuel Smith's
The Famous Taddy Porter
with the Valentine's Day pizza.
A very fine porter this one is.
Prit near black in color. Coffee
and chocolate notes in aroma
and taste, just right mouth feel.
Tastes like it should be more
than 5.0 abv. I'm glad it's not.
