Had to don my Original Pattern hat for this love fest between Altamont, Original Pattern, and my gullet. Big, bold hop flavor dominates this mostly West Coast double, kinda dank but also clean AF and just right at 8%. Also, I feel mildly special since my Original Pattern hat doesn’t say anything on the front, and everywhere I go, people say to me, “Original Pattern? Niiiiiiice.” Seriously. It’s happened so many times here in California. I love it. I finally feel accepted into a cool kids club, which mostly eluded me my entire life. I’m cool now, Mom! - Ryan
