We’ll send you up a case if you’d like one the next time they brew a batch! Growler fills are ridiculously priced there though. Around 28-30 bucks if I remember correctly.

I just about fell over in the aisle today when I saw a single bottle of this sitting on the shelf at Deluxe Foods in Aptos tonight. One bottle. Of course, I bought it and promptly quaffed it. Damn, this is a seriously good IPA. I can’t figure out how they get it so light… that light, crisp aspect to the malt lets the citrusy Simcoe hops show through so clearly. It’s like sucking on a simcoe lollipop. I fuckin love this stuff.

New batch as of 9/08 even smaller than the last; no distribution to retailers, brewery only for 22oz ($7.99) and growler fills ($20).

Killed last bottle (another great one) on 5/30. Ballast Point needs to do whatever it fuckin takes to make this a year round brew. Stop making Yellowtail, Big Eye, whatever it takes! I will be crying myself to sleep until the next batch is released.

This is not tasting as fresh and fruity as it was on release. No more tropical fruit/ orange essence… Next batch please.
