    How much does a bottle normally run?

    It's OK. Most BAs have a difficult time talking to a woman when they can see her face.

    $15ish is the norm in our area.

    Tried it tonight at the Bend release on tap in a Teku glass. Pretty damn good IMO. Bottles $14 each. Not that sour at all.

    My brother had a couple at the brewery tonight. He didn't detect any sourness...it was more of a dark chocolate bitterness, if anything. Very rich and sweet and awesome. Can't wait to try it this weekend.

    Had xxv in portland tonight.....I definitely enjoyed it, surely complex, smidge of sour. Strangely the xxi they were also pouring had more of a tart taste. The xxiv was quite good,still jammy. All on draft at the pub. I look forward to xxv out of the bottle. Bought a few for kicks.

    So for the skimming reader...is this on shelves yet? Need to know so I can post an ISO for a couple bottles.

    Picked up several bottles at Deschutes-Portland last Thursday ~ $14 each. Had a snifter pour at the pub.
    Tried one over the weekend and enjoyed it (doesn't seem like an innoculated "sour", but does have tartness thanks to currants), will add the full review ASAP.

    Added it to the database for those of you who want to review/rate/tick it.

    Where specifically are you referring to? Depending on location, distro time can vary greatly in NorCal.
