Nasty Habit IPA

[PeenSteen]

Just a heads up the production date is Aug.13 and should be province wide. It doesn't say on the bottle only the cases.

Thanks for the info. 2 months of age isn't so bad I guess...

Actually it does, lower left on the label.

The one I picked up today shows 23010, the 230th day of 2010 and if my math is correct, should be Aug 18, 2010.

I usually read the label when I buy it because after two I cant.

Some people do Sudoku I try to read the bottling codes, much more challenging.

Unibroue actually has one of the easiest to follow codes in my view. Example: K1609= November 16th 2009. The letter represents months starting at A=January and so on, the next two numbers are day and month. There might be a bunch of numbers afterwards, but they're just batch number or something like that. The first part is what really matters. It was the first code I ever learned and generally find it the easiest to follow. Hope this helps.

No problem man. In my experiences, unless it's Blanche du Chambly, the codes are most welcome when they're old as can be .

Don't forget, many brewers (not sure if it's the case with Unibroue) skip "I" because it can easily be confused with "1".

That may be the case I have 2 Trois Pistoles that start with M so I suppose that since there is no 13th month that its December

Thats right. M0309 is December 3 2009. Unibroue says you can age that 5 to 8 years so no worries.

On the subject of codes you may see some or all European codes reversed, hence 100110 is the 10th day of January 2010 not Oct 1 2010. Lastly, if the box has only a month and day be wary. I saw a box in the summer with a bottling date of Aug 27. Pretty fresh I thought until I realized it was Aug 26.

Last year I found a pair of Fin Du Monde bombers at my parent's house with the code H179, August 17, 1999!
Still tasted incredible!

Nasty Habit has to be one of the best IPA's I have ever bought from the LCBO - reminds me of Green Flash Imperial IPA.

Really? I was actually disappointed with it. I found that the nose was excellent but the palate was weak (not bitter enough and lacking in flavour too) and the mouthfeel was light and watery.

I only bought one bottle and won't be buying more.

That said, with the limited choices available at the LCBO, if you are in the mood for and IPA, aside from Southern Tier IPA, nothing comes to mind right away that is better...
