Homebrewed Wit for Dad, fresh Lagunitas Hop Stoopid for me (thanks BoozeReviews!)
The fresh Hop Stoopid has an aroma strikingly similar to Pliny the Elder. There is a hop fruitiness in there, probably like grapefruit I guess, and something else that's really green. I wouldn't say it's tropical or anything but it does have that balance of citrus and greenery. It's absolutely vital to get Hop Stoopid as fresh as possible. The other two bottles I had in the past had this nasty floral oxidized hoppiness to it. Without the BoozeReviews crew this afternoon's drunkeness would not be possible.

sort of off-topic, but i thought you would like to know, in old town orange (where i live) there's a new "gastropub" going in. right now they just have signs up in a vacant restaurant that mention "hand crafted beer". no more details for now.
Hey dont hate that somehow I get it fresh (on tap). I've had three bottles out here and two were skunked so I know what you're saying but when its fresh its by far one of my favorite beers.
I do hate that you get it fresh on tap 3000 miles from the damn place. It's longevity in the bottle sucks, so unless I know for sure it was just bottled I won't ever buy it.
El Serracho, thanks for the heads up, I'll keep my ears open for this place.
