Smoothed out perfectly. No hint of the acetone I noticed last year. Love everything about it.

Plenty tart from the cranberries but the sour has mellowed. Acetone in the nose, which is unfortunate, but tastes amazing. So refreshing, too. Easy to gulp this down.

Just a terrific lambic. Rose red, and sparkles like champagne. Has all the classic marks of lambics but with an incredible amount of cranberry flavor. I don't know how Dan does it, but he adds huge fruit flavor without losing the beer-ness. Extremely refreshing and delicious. Surprised the ABV is as high as it is.

Reminds me a lot of the Lupine. Pale and fruity (not quite pineapple, maybe starfruit?), a lot more bitterness at the end than other Ninjas. Loved it.

Unfortunately this one had turned pretty far, I didn't want any more after the first sip. Parents still thought it was good until I opened the 2015, which had fared much better.

Held up remarkably well, much better than the 2016 I opened the same night. Rich malty depth and retains more barrel than bourbon. Still, it showed its age, not a beer that needs cellaring. Sad to see CW let this one go.

I like it chilled a bit, now, but not 44 degrees or anything. As good as it gets for me.

The best.

This is just my favorite beer. So rich and sweet, but not alcohol sweet. Smooth and delicious.

Bourbon had faded significantly after 9 months. It's still there but more in the background. It's smoother overall but I really liked the big bourbon presence.

Even better than last week. Something settled and the flavors and aromas are more potent. As good as ANY IPA I've ever had.

I think this is the only Fish that doesn't have a fruit additive. And it's just fine without. Smells a lot like the Lupine Ninja. Incredibly rich tropical fruits and not a lot of bitterness. Not the palate wrecker some of the other Fish have been. Pipeworks are IPA wizards.
