Don't think so...

There was one back people said it peaked at 3-4 weeks. This batch may be the same

This current batch will never be juice-like, it is a good straight forward "filtered" DIPA though IMO, reminds me of Uppercase, Mettle, or Vicinity from Trillium, no juice, the issue is Parish can't brew the same beer twice......

I was just seeing if Matisyeezy was paying attention. I'm used to drinking shelf turds.

My wife would leave me if I had a black wife beater. That guy looks like Danny Partridge.

Wasn't that the Ghost taste test?

Had a pint of GITM today at Pelican House. Bartender, buddy, and I all agreed it tasted a little different. He told me a lot of people have had similar feeling towards this batch,

It's good IMO, if you want a juice based bomb get some treehouse apparently Parish can't make one anymore.

I've got a whole case that I'm trying to get off of. Should've never bought the shite but it sometimes just falls in my lap.

Please. We are at a not-so-mutual understanding that's probably pretty mutual. You're a good fella. You're a little more malt tolerant than some, and that's okay. I know you drink some older hops and you're happy with it. I'm not going to fight you over that. Enjoy, anonymous internet friend

Actually I've taken your advice i thought you would like to know.

I'm giving all of my old Grace and Grit for Christmas presents to my Michelob Ultra swilling friends. Nothing but fresh beer for me.

2 week old shelf turds of the latest Parish beers are decent

I'd like to try the double hopped Envie and the Bloom. I'm guessing they have some left at the taproom?

They had a lot left on Tuesday when I passed through. Not sure, but they may have even more pallets in the back.

Totally agree, this version of Ghost doesn't resemble Ghosts of the past at all. It's still a very good beer, its just very disappointing that they cannot maintain a consistent beer. I bought a bunch of Ghost at GRD with the intention of sending to some friends out of town that had never had it but had heard plenty, but now I'm not going to send it because its not the same beer.

yet y'all keep buying it by the #cases

You know it's going to be different. If you're not sure if you'll like it enough to buy a lot, go somewhere to try it first or wait until someone you trust tries it first.

Y'all act like Parish owes you something.

know it's going to be different now.. it was always a guessing game before.

i didnt buy any this go round. had a few on draft and was able to form enough of an opinion to not waste any more $$

Don't most businesses owe their customers a consistent quality product?

THis batch was really clear, and a lot less hoppy than the previous batches I had

I also got a really weird batch of Envie where it was like semi cloudy but only at the bottom. It was weird. This batch of Ghost is like that.
