> [@bracketracer](#): > > Weird, because that’s how I felt about the grapefruit shandy thing you posted about. Did you have the Leinenkeugels kind? I didn’t detect any aftertaste, but, I did have my first beer of the day around 8:30am so who knows. I haven’t had Grapefruit Sculpin so I don’t know if that has an aftertaste or not. ---

Yep Lineys, wife picked it up as an experiment. Both of us are really into big beers, but it’s good to keep a stock of lawn mowing/frisbee beers around. We both had the same face about 10 seconds in. Grapefruit Sculpin is the go-to canned boat beer though. That shit rocks. ---

CBW is great, but for volume Big Ditch is killing it. Hay Burner is one of my favorite local joints because it isn’t a hop bomb, its bright and citrusy, right up my alley. > [@Quattro Krant](#): > > I tried Hell or High Watermelon and I couldn’t imagine drinking the whole can.

I like CBW as their business model but I am not a fan of their beer. Them or Flying Bison I just can’t get into. Flying Bison is a step above Resurgence and tastes like it came straight from the Niagara River. ---
