    Love this review. Sometimes I want a classic old school hoppy, malty and bitter ipa. I can always count on torpedo. SN beers seem to hold up better than most WC IPAs.

    Probably my favorite Grocery store beer, and served as a gateway IPA for me. Love it.

    The shelf life on torpedo is pretty decent. Nothing beats an old school bitter ipa!

    Torp is one of my favorites! one of the OG IPAs. Still consistently good over the years.

    I enjoy buying beers directly from a local brewery. Just knowing it's supremely fresh makes the experience enriching.

    torpedo lasts forever in the fridge, its so consistent with its flavor profile. I always keep it around when I get hazy fatigue.

    You are much more tolerant. For me, not in the cooler, any more than 30 days, it had better be a Pliny or Heady. In the cooler, 60 days max, maybe 90 days if I am being a little froggy.
    Had a mixed 12 pack of Stone, in the cooler, 3 months old, and they were fine, but they tasted like they were 3 months old. Should have gone with the SNPA, but I wanted a mixed pack, rather than 12 of the same.

    I really like this beer too. I think that Lagunitas Maximus is far more bitter.
    FYI: Detroit area Total Wine stores sell Celebration Ale for $19.99/12 pack. But you then have to add another $1.20 for deposit.

      I disagree, I can enjoy maximus occasionally, whereas torpedo from the first and only time I drank it was a challenge. Celebration is slightly more tolerable if not for being too piney for my liking

    As a regular Torpedo consumer I can confirm that there should be a canned on date on the package. It is in black and difficult to spot. My personal policy is to get this with 2 months or less in the can. This one really is the fresher the better as some tropical flavors are available for ultra fresh cans. I always purchase an IPA from a cooler.

  • @brianlayne9742

    That’s relatively fresh all SN beer is canned conditioned and remains at the brewery 1 month before distribution

    • @DarwinsBeerReviews
      @DarwinsBeerReviews  Місяць тому +1

      I keep hearing that. So they can it with that date, then it stays to condition. That's amazing. So I guess mine was 2 months fresh.

      yeast and fermentable sugar are added to finish the beer also we stored the beer at approx 60f for 10 to 12 days and release for distribution at approximately a month Cheers 🍻.

    To my mind, the super-sweet malt base clashes with the hop bitterness. I prefer IPAs with dry malt bases.

      Tower 10 was one of the greatest and Stone IPA and Sculpin IPA, were all fantastic beers that I miss. Nowadays there are too many fruity fruit juices.

    The last couple of times HG has bought Torpedo, it has been super foamy and a bit off in flavor - almost a little stale. The dates have been decent, but nothing super fresh. It is still good, but it seems a bit muted from what we remember from last year. 🤷🏽‍♂ Sierra Nevada is still fantastic and top tier though.
