I'm all done...for now. I got in early and I got in big. You've got to remember, quality American IPA is my holy grail, I made sure I was first in line. While it concerns a different beer, what I posted back in '02 still holds true: "A brief note to whoever bought the entire stock of Hop Devil...

Never thought of the Alba as being particularly gimicky (or at least not more so than the rest of the set). The Heather used to be sold individually a few years back, and I did use to enjoy it then.

I remember the glowing bottle, and still have an empty in my bookcase. I also recall the LCBO claiming the bottles would glow long after the switch to the non-glow-in-the-dark bottles.
