It's awesome, I agree.

I guess I'm the only person in the world who didn't like IPA No. 5. I found it to be too sweet with a muddled taste and aroma. Unpleasant mouthfeel, thick and cloying as it warmed. It certainly had a big hit of citra hops, but I found it to be a more is less kind of deal. Maybe this NE IPA thing is...

Yup, love it. Dangerously easy to drink for 8.2%ABV.

Rainhard currently has Armed 'n Citra and their new DDH DIPA (Revolution #9; it's awesome) in 355ml cans. Picked up some of each this past weekend.

Just grabbed a case of 24 at the Bathurst/St Clair location. Tons there.

Check their Instagram live "story" or whatever the f*ck it's called. Couple different glasses with gold etching.

Arrived at around 1PM or so to Ossington; in and out in about 5 minutes with a case and glass.
