I drank SNPA for three years when I was int he states, it was my favorite beer...wehn LCPA came out I heard that they based their recipe off the SNPA - allegedly they even have a special import license for the hops they use, sourcing them directly from the states and having soem kind of customs agreement to destroy the remainder afterwards....
however, I digress - so I had the LCPA when it came out, and I got back from the states - and a lovely drop it is as well, but it tasted a lot more harsh than the SNPA did, it jsut wasnt as well rounded and it was a little "too" grassy - the other week the guys at the International Beer Shop got a varton of SNPA (yes, amazing! I was chuffed!) so I bought two stubbies (at $8 a stubbie - ouch) and me and my mate had a tasting session with the two beers side by side....
About the only thing they had similar to them, was that they are both PAle Ales - otherwise, they were as different as couldn be - and the SNPA was extremly rounded (maybe due to it being a bit older than the LCPA - I do tend to think that the LCPA is a bit on the young side when you drink it fresh here - personal preference though)...and the SNPA won hands down of course, but the LCPA is still a very worthy drop.

I think a few people have raised those same thoughts on AHB Fletch. Look forward to trying SNPA when I can finally get my hands on a bottle here in Sydney.
I'm not sure if you're referring to the beer itself or its use for home brew, but the LC I had from one of those keggies a few years back was the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot of LC.sinkas said:So DeeBee, or anyone else, have you tried these 12.5litre kegs?

LC have released a new 5lt keg Gents, I've bout one for the Easter break down south. It came in to the shop Wednesday so I'm hopeful its seriously bloody fresh and maybe even better than the bottles.
