Hopefully better than the Sweetwater 420
420 is not a bad beer.....not a great one either, but the brewery is a pretty decent brewery.
The thing is great beers never get popular.
Look at Bud Light. It is the number one selling beer in both America and the in the world.
Where if you get bud light nice and cold, it tastes like like cold water with a splash of piss for flavor (not that I know for sure but would imagine).
That being said, 420 was the beer that made SweetWater popular.
Now that was partially to a great name and advertising but you can't expect greatness from popularity as most people in the world would spit a great beer right out.
Last year I though SweetWaters happy ending (a 9% Imperial Stout) was pretty good. But this year when it came back out and my tastes have progressed I would just rate it ok.
Of course many people would not like it because it has too much flavor, but I think it does not have enough. lol
Also, getting a beer while it is fresh is a myth started it by Bud with their born on dates.
It was an advertising campagne started several years ago (and a successful one at that).
However, the fact is that many good beers need to be shelved and get better the longer it sits.
I am going to try to let my KBS sit up for a year, but it so damn good, it is really difficult. lol
Some of my Backwoods Bastard has been up for 6 months but I don't have much left. :(
