Doesn’t Three Floyds have a beer with a similar name? Looking forward to trying this.
Yeah, I think it is called Rye Da Tiger.
Looks like Great Lakes’ version has been around a lot longer. First ratings at Ratebeer date from ’06. But Three Floyds bottled theirs first for distribution.
I love this beer!
