i've read 2 of your posts carefully and have determined that you're a total jerknose peebreath.
anything else you request of us?

Jeffporter mentions one of his bottles is without a bottling date, confirming there are 2 different bottling runs in this one shipment. You then tell him that the high sediment bottles are even older than his unmarked bottle; how do you know this? Or is there a 3rd mysterious batch within this order?

I might use that insult in the future.

Just two requests for you atomeyes. Grow up, and don't make hasty assumptions about the intent of posts for which there can be multiple interpretations.

Jeff Porter, I can assure you, I wasn't trying to be condescending.

TorontoBlue, based on the link I posted from Green Flash, we can see that there are at least 2 batches of their IPA in LCBO circulation. Based on posts in this thread, and from what I've seen myself, there could possibly be more than 2 batches out there:

1. Bottles with May 21 2012 bottling date (still somewhat hoppy, slight sediment)
2. Bottles with no bottling date (like Jeff Porter's, i.e. slight sediment)
3. Bottles with no bottling date (like Jeff Rubin's picture, i.e. heavy sediment and negligible hop aroma/flavour)

its sad that the 3 parties involved (Green Flash, North American Craft, LCBO) in bringing this beer here dont seem to care whatsoever about the quality of the product

Some finally made it up to North Bay. Can't find a bottling date, ery slight sediment, and still quite hoppy. Nowhere near what I know it can be but still quite nice. Actually reminds me alot of Mad Tom in the shape this 4 pack is in.

weird, there were 32 4-packs left at one of the Ottawa locations yesterday, and today the system says they're gone. Wonder if one of the local bars stocked up on 5 month old IPA.

There's a massive quantity at Market Square, anyone know if a repeat shipment of fresh stock has been / will be made?

NAC says "we have to make changes to the Label and are in the process of doing so. We should have some more in time for the holiday season. Cheers!"

wonder what's wrong with the label.. maybe this is what caused the delay in releasing it in the first place?

Torontoblue · Post by **Torontoblue** » Tue Oct 30, 2012 1:09 pm

The label as is doesn't conform to CFIA standards. All the agency have to do is arrange for a strip label to be attached to the bottle, or 4 pack if the bottles aren't for sale individually.

I don't know what genius thought it would be good to bring in 5 month old (And possibly older for unmarked..) IPA.

I think it's a brand with enough credibility that should a second round of bottles come in with a more recent packaging date on it, we beer nerds will forgive the growing pains.

Plus, having one anchor brand makes it more likely we'll get Le Freak or Palate Wrecker as a seasonal.
