Hanzo is drinking a Thomas Hardy's Ale (2024) by Hepworth & Co at Rock Crusher's Beer Mine
With the rebirth of Thomas Hardy's Ale at Hepworth & Co, would be fun to see how stands against another classic. So, not an equal comparison as the Harvest had some time to rest, but this one is already really good. Smooth, sweet and rounded

Hanzo is drinking a Hop Bullet - Magnum Edition by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at Rock Crusher's Beer Mine
Canned 8Jan24. Malty with a piney and resinous finish, even if not as high bitterness as in a classic WCDIPA. Bit sweet with marmaladey touches, but still drinking nicely. 3.75-

Hanzo is drinking a Drifting Into the Illusion by Sudden Death Brewing Co. at Rock Crusher's Beer Mine
Canned 8Feb24. Juicy with a finish that holds some Galaxy sharpness and a herbal touch that reminds of neomexicanus hops. But none used here 🤷🏻 Pineapple, grapefruit zest and orange. Dry, grassy finish.

Classic Brit vs reborn classic Brit. Even with some age, this one haven't got the same kind of rounded feel, slight sharp (as in young) to this one. More dried fruity and honey like as well. Very good in its own way. 4.0+
