US Pint can from O'Shea's: well out of date when bought (canned on 11th Jan 2022).Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass at my daughter's place in Laguna Hills on 22nd August 2025. Light haze in the golden body, white affair on top. Hop burn in every sip, this was/is a serious player hop wise, citrus flavoured stuff with an earthy/piney undertone. Harsh hop feel (hence the hop burn feel mentioned earlier), it's intense and some would not be able to finish this (in it's dated can), but I'm made of stern stuff and almost you'd think the hops might mellow with age they seem to have grown in strength over the last few years. Would have been interesting to have this in date 3 years ago.
