The Gootz grows on you- the first one was awful, since it tasted like nothing I expected a beer to taste like. Try another one, knowing full well what you're getting. There are some interesting flavors in there.

Still don't know why you'd make a dark wheat beer. Just doesn't seem right.

There are still four of them in my fridge. I gave one to my brother. He got through half of it and then dumped it. I still haven't worked up the courage. We joked that we should set the rest out in the sun for the summer and try them again in the Fall. Maybe they'll improve... :lol: They're just vile, I'll tell ya.

I'm having a Magic Hat Blind Faith right now...next to last one in the 6-pack. I'm no brew connoisseur, but this stuff is alright...

I'll keep looking for the I.P.A.; how does it compare to Blind Faith?

It's a spring brew so you probably won't find it for a while, and if you do, maybe pass on it. It's way more bitter than the Blind Faith which is also very very good.
