I think I am going to start becoming fresh-obsessed on my IPAs. It seems to make a world of difference to my palate. I've had some amazing, incredible Stone IPAs - along with some that are barely meh. I'm guessing it all comes down to freshness.

I have no idea what you were expecting buying a Holsten product when almost any other German product (such as Gerolsteiner Sprudel, or an Audi) would certainly taste more like beer.

And I'm being kindly generous in my assessment. I hope the Margaret River Ringbolt Cabernet has more of a reason to exist... will report back!!
