Tried it, didn't care for it much. New Belgium brewery beers are only one state away in Maryland at this point. Probably will be sporting some Fat Tire cans again this festival season.. :jamguy:

Fat Tire is kind of played out at this point for me. That would have excited me five years ago maybe.

These are intense! I had a six pack of bottles a few weeks back, makes Harpoon IPA taste as mild as coors light. I'm kinda with moed on these though, I wouldn't buy again, flavor just wasn't my thing.

Had it on draft at the Beerfest last weekend and in bottles before - I gotta agree, cans would rock for festy season !

While sending away for my free t-shirt, I discovered that Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is also available in cans now. Not as hoppy as the Torpedo, but mighty refreshing anytime! :jamguy:

This thread made me give the Torpedos another shot, this time in the 16oz can. Not sure why but I definitely like them better this time. Not my favorite IPA, but maybe that will change after a few more cans :lol:

To strong for me tastes like a pine tree.

I like the regular sierra nevada ipa or harpoon.
