I think it's a matter of expectations, mine included. it's a very nice beer, but certainly subtler than its predecessors. I don't think people were expecting (or wanting?) subtle.

I too am not feeling the recipe change (couldn't even finish last year's can), so I won't be giving Muskoka my money if it's the exact same beer. Doesn't make sense to reward a brewery for taking a formerly great beer and turning it into an undrinkable mess. My two cents, anyway.

Maybe not necessary, but one can is certainly a lot less money that they'll get compared to previous years when I bought over a dozen.

E-mailing them is a great idea. It baffles my mind that they took one of their best beers and completely ruined it. I know it wasn't just my one can as most of the reviews for the 2017 version expressed disappointment. Thankfully there's some good alternatives from Amsterdam and Nickel Brook to satisfy my harvest ale / wet hop fix, and I'm looking forward to trying the Wet Hop Wheat from Collective Arts. Collingwood's Vintage Ale isn't too bad either, though it drinks more like an English Strong Ale than an APA.

I remember Aass Bock was also a bold-tasting Dunker Bock. Similarly Scandinavian.
