Drank one this past weekend and it was freaking good, far better than the 07. Highly recommend. :thumbs:

far better than the 07.

That shouldn't be too hard.

I think I'm one of the few that absolutely love the '07.

I am with you. I didn't love it but I did think it was damn good.

We will have to trade if you still want the New Glarus wine coolers I need to stop over by the beer diva and pick up a case of the NG Red. I think they have the FKBBS in, it was $5.99 a bottle. Not that good IMHO.

I hope it was better than the 07. I think the 07 may be the only Stone beer Ive thrown out.

I cracked one open last night. Thanks Jonas! Very interesting beer. Lots of citrus in the aroma. Plenty of spice from both the yeast and the hops.
Kind of reminded me a little of Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel.

Interesting that you say that, Pete. I have been wanting to try the Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen for a while but just haven't gotten around to actually picking it up. I hear it is tasty, what are your thoughts on it?

I've had a couple of bottles, but couldn't find any notes or reviews. It's fairly hoppy for a Belgian style (they use American hops), but still has some of that spice and fruitiness from the yeast. It's worth a try. I get together with a few guys every month, and we each bring a bottle of Belgian beer. They had mixed opinions of it.

Gouden Carolus has a new beer called Hopsinjoor out that is supposed to be similar. I haven't picked up a bottle yet. We've been getting so many new beers, it's hard to keep up.

I loved it, thought it was a great change from the normal stone beers that I drink(Ruination and Arrogant).

I had a few glasses (generous pours of the 2 oz glass that really went up to close to 4 oz) of the Vertical at the Belgiam beer fest thrown by BeerAdvocate last month in Boston. Amazing stuff, as was the Collaboration
