Gross. It smells like piled up, pissed on, two day old cat litter. It tastes like ####. This is seriously the worst unspoiled beer I've ever had - and I'm including the big name swill in that tally.I swear, New Belgium is a coin flip on the quality of their brews.Back to Bells for the evening.

I concur and agree wholeheartedly. Only reason I cracked it open: Wife comes home with a mixer from the nearby market and it was the only one I'd never tried. I had second thoughts before opening.Good SWMBO though.Should have never left Bells. I can't believe I can't get it in NY.

For such a large and successful brewery, NB does indeed have QA problems. I don't get it.Their yeast blows, but it should blow more consistently.And now we have them as next door neighbors.MolBasser

Totally agreed, I'm sure the corked and caged la folie my brother bought for me is going to suck compared to anything sweetwater makes.I will say that anything that Sweetwater puts out is better than the best of New Belgian.Hands down.

I tried Dig about a month ago while out with my wife one night. They had it on tap. I had never tried the hops Nelson Sauvin before so I gave it a whirl. Overall it was alright in my book. SweetWater Brewing...Now they are awesome their IPA is amazing!!
