+1. I very decent IPA, but not worth eating ramen noodles and buying cheap condoms for a month to recover shipping costs.

+1

I thought it was pretty damn tasty and at 7.2% they can get away from you quite quickly.

Buy like Mylo said, I wouldn't eat condoms and buy cheap ramen over it.

Wasn't torpedo released last summer/fall?

I recall seeing it on tap at many places in the Buffalo area....infact, I think it was last summer because i remember getting a growler of it and coming home to "paint the cabinets" which drinking the whole thing.


or is it just that now they are released in bottles?

Thanks for the help Meister, but I think I'll try to find the beer locally.

We've had torpedo in San Diego for the past 3 years in kegs only. I had a bottle sunday night and was told that it's bottle only now and no more kegs. I hope that's just during the initial stages of bottling because I'm consuming a keg of the stuff a summer for the last 3 years.

Had my first one last night..nice..but something at the end of the flavor profile that i cant put my finger on...a dryness or astringency, that just leaves a puckering taste in your mouth.

I agree..not worth the shipping costs.
