So, this is their spring seasonal. They bill it as a high gravity cream
ale. 7.6% ABV and 40 IBU! I kinda expected to get at least a little
corn character out of it since it was billed as a cream ale, but I guess
the high hopping should have given me a clue. To me, I can't see why
this isn't an IPA or at least a strong APA. Too dark and hoppy to be
anywhere near even a high gravity cream ale. Not a bad beer, but I just
can't see how they can possibly call it a cream ale of any sort. And
yes, I'm well aware that breweries can brew anything they want and call
it anything they want. Anybody here tried it yet? Your thoughts?

I haven't tried it yet, have been less and less eager to try their beers
because they all seem to give the same impression as thick, hoppy, high in
alcohol. Not that those are bad things but.....all the time ?
