I think that's just the way it tastes. I had a bottle a while back that I got in a trade with someone in BC and I couldn't believe how bland it was considering the ratings that the locals had given it...Kish84 wrote:Tried my bottle on Sunday and I felt the same way.Cale wrote:Anyone else think the Central City DIPA was stale and terrible?

I've had their staight up DIPA fresh on tap and it was no better. Their IPA is the clear winner of their line up. Nothing else they do really impresses me much.TheSevenDuffs wrote:I think that's just the way it tastes.
