Being a non-hophead I would not walk across the street for this beer. Rather have a Pig Iron Porter.

Cheers.

Ever since Deschutes post on their miscalculations of IBUs and over estimation is anyone else hesitant to believe any hop claims? I am sure it's a hoppy beer but unless I see a lab report I think IBUs are marketing hype.

This is the post I am referring to http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/blog/2009/02/13/lies-damn-lies-and-statistics/

That said it sounds like a beer worth trying.

No argument here, Thomas; I've thought that for years, but everyone keeps calculating and claiming. Cheers to Deschutes!
