I don't know if that's planned. If they are trying to make each beer distinctly different or what, but you can't deny that ghost and even Opus have changed.

No, they are different. And I get disappointment in buying something you expect to be a juice bomb and turns out to be a West Coast dank drink, or vise versa. Parish SHOULD make it known to their consumers what to expect if the batches are intentionally different.

However, it seems people who would otherwise enjoy drinking Double Jack, Duet, or other delicious filtered IPAs are treating this Ghost batch as if it's some 3rd tier IPA.

And I'm definitely not some Parish fanboy. I've yet to attend a Grand Reserve Day or any other special brewery event.

These last few batches of Ghost are still better than any "west coast" IPA.

Not even close IMO.

ETA: let me clarify. Better than any west coast IPA I've ever had.

I voted for Parish. They set the standard with GR and then Ghost. If it wasn't for Ghost getting crazy reviews, would Tin Roof, Gnarley Barley, Great Raft, etc, be brewing juicy IPAs? I don't know, but maybe not. Parish raised the bar well above the Abita standard, and now everyone else is trying to meet the new standard. For that reason, I give Parish the edge. Because they made everyone else around them better.
