Bottle date for the ones in the city is may 21/12

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?Stroonze wrote:Bottle date for the ones in the city is may 21/12

"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"

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.
