Besides the hops in Heady, the thing I love about it is the malt profile. I actually really like it as it ages a bit. Say a month or two out. The hops slightly fade behind, but there's still plenty of hoppy flavor.
I'm spoiled by living close enough to get some, but can't always make the trek. Damn, that's a lot of money for 2 cases, but I guess that's the price you gotta pay for not living close.
If your buddy can swing by Hill Farmstead and get you a couple of growlers and bottles it might make you forget about Heady.
