I just discovered that myself about three weeks ago. My first taste of it reminded me of the first time I tried another good summer beer - Victory Prima Pils. It's been so many years since I had Prima Pils I could be way off in saying they're similar but that's what came to mind.
At my local TBS the shelf where Smuttynose Finestkind IPA sat for most of the year now has Robust Porter from the same brewery. Priced the same as Finestkind at $15.95 for six.

The Gose was good, the hefe was very nice and the Papaya Saison was a friggen abomination. It was so bad I had to go trick my wife into having a sip so I wasn't the only one suffering through it.
I actually enjoyed the papaya saison, and really liked the gose, didn't care for the hefe. I haven't had saint of circumstance since it first came out, but I remember not liking it much at all
I picked up an arrogant at food lion in North Carolina. It is currently being produced for them by alesmith, the bottle says. Btw I literally choked on the first sip, caught me off guard
For some reason the Delicious IPA is on the LCBO website but is nowhere to be found on drinkvine (whether you search for the name or the product number).
