I did notice a difference between the two as well, but I have to believe what Peter said, makes sense. I was up at the brewery the other weekend for my bachelor party, and having it straight out of the keg, at the brewery was out of this world. I can't get enough of the smashbomb!! Looking forward t...

Ed at the Black Creek Historic Brewery said they did have a bit of problem with the first batch that was breweed. (But I'm surprised there's still some around). maybe that's what happened. He also said Trafalger brews 75% of the beer and Flying Monkeys brews the other 25% with Trafalger heat pastuer...

Otherwise, maybe sometime next week I could drop by your pace and pick them up? Unless you think theyt'd be ok by UPS or somethi...

NOT AT ALL like the ones I've had in the past, perhaps just a bad batch, or someone was sleeping on the job. Hopefully it's only a few...

funny, I've heard a few people mention the 'metallic-y' taste, but I'm yet to taste it myself.There was mention of a few bad batches floating around, so maybe that was it, or perhaps my taste buds are just wired, or maybe I like metal, who knows... haha

I'm getting a little taste of the Sgt. Major IPA flavour which I believe uses Chinook... I'm thinking maybe some Cascade in ther...
