Sierra Nevada hop hunter

Anyone try the new Lagunitas oops I mean Sierra Nevada hop hunter ipa? It's really good! I think I found my new favorite beer!

Yea it's good, I can taste the extract in it but nothing wrong with that.

Havent had it yet. Im currently enjoying their Hoppy Lager beer camp 2015 offering. It's pretty good if you dig lagers.

I didn't know they use extract?

Hop extract...google it. Its SN's fancy new way to get a fresh hop extract from hops directly from the farm.

I just got my hands on this in Chicago. Bottled about 2 weeks ago. It's a beautiful beer. I'm wondering what hops are in this?

They are listing it on the bottom of six packs as a year round beer which is great, when I first tried a bottle I figured it would be a seasonal release. I haven't seen 6 packs at the local grocery stores in central oregon but my local bottle / homebrew shop carries them at under $8 a sixer if I buy on Fridays. It is an incredible IPA at that price point.

My go to IPA when I hit the store.. good taste/price ratio. Love it.

If you like that try Lagunitas Daytime IPA.

I love SN but that extract hop taste is not my thing. The hoppy lager in the other hand, excellent. Like a variation of Summerfest.

The white label IPA in their current variety pack of IPAs is a great beer as well.

If you like that try Lagunitas Daytime IPA.

But they aren't even similar? Daytime is better but far different IMO.
