NB Headstock IPA, Castro's lounge in the beach. Delicious hoppy fruity taste and amazing texture on tap here, good fresh draft on clean lines. When it's perfect Headstock is a wonderful drop.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (not bad, but not really cutting it for me either… I would say it's not a re-buy for me if Stone IPA ever gets here, I will pay decent coin for that fresh.)

The RR ISA worked for you? I found it pretty boring...... That being said I drank it at about midnight on a cool evening.
Nickel Brook Naughty Neighbor, an extremely fine canned APA.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, I like it a little better drank not as cold.

Side Launch Wheat
Muskoka Summerweiss
Back to back, fresh cans. I enjoyed both but I'd say Side Launch retains the title with a softer mouthfeel, more intense flavours and a longer finish. Muskoka's also has a bit of a bitterness to it which I'd rather it didn't.
