It's getting better. More juice less November Dank. That citra DDH Envie spoiled me.

Troof.

The thing is, I would much rather $9 6-pack Envie than $12 4-pack Ghost at this point.

Half the price if you can't get it right.

This batch of GiTM is missing the hoppy bitterness of classic years-past GiTM.

As others have stated, the juice level is great. The hoppy bitter "bite" that I crave when drinking a DIPA is mediocre on this version though.

Surpasses November GiTM batch? Yes. MAGITMGA? Not yet.

I get the juice in the taste, but there is something that I do not like about the nose. I know they are going for dank, but for me there is no cohesion there and it has been this way since last summer. I enjoy it much more after having a few other beers.

Where is Ghost in the Machine sold in BR? I've checked a couple chain grocery stores without luck, I figure a local store would be my best bet

This is literally the exact opposite of what I think. It's a bitter mess.

Ghost supply usually disappears a day or two after it reaches the stores. Rouses and Alexander's you have to ask for it. Calandro's makes it an event where people line up to buy. If you're looking at Albertson's or Winn Dixie you won't find it there. Good Luck chasing the ghost! Or just drive to Broussard.

Also if im in a store buying beer I know what I want to buy. No need to chat up the beer guy for 15 mins.


I pretty much do the same and it bugs me to even think otherwise, but over the years I've slowly learned (actually from watching my brothers) that shooting the shite with people, even when you don't need to, will net you some serious knowledge, relationships, and other bonuses. Humans are social creatures. You get rewarded for it.
