If it makes you feel any better, this batch is ancient and probably not worth your money anyway

have we confirmed that (someone actually saw bottles on the shelf with this date) or is it speculation based on the guess from earlier in this thread?

"just picked up a 4 pack at St. Lawrence LCBO. $12.75 and bottle date is May 21 2012. If you buy it drink it quickly! Cheers RV"

somehow managed to miss that skimming the thread to catch up... sucks... their "6 weeks old" claim is only off by 11 weeks!

Update: the shipment of Green Flash is just hitting the St Lawrence River on its way back from India (2pm EST).

- part of LCBO lab testing for IPAs.

I picked some up from the Market store today. The good news is that it tastes good. The bad news is that:
- It was bottled on "05/21/12".
- It's full of particles in suspension.
- It costs $12.95 for a four-pack.
If 10 Bitter Years was regularly available I'd never consider buying this again, even if it was fresh.

Yeah I picked two four packs yesterday. Its seen better days. As reported, 05/21/12, full of particles. Its a good IPA, but not worth the money in its current condition. I have to assume it was pretty spectacular when it was fresh, but it seems much of the hop flavour is gone. Drink Red Racer instead.
