Canning date illegible. But freshly purchased from cooler. Drunk 10/15/25.
Clear, coppery-golden-brass. Small, off-white head, steadily to ring.
Lightly woody, christmasy spice seems very Chinook-like, so that's nice. Not the harsh wood and grapefruit of Simcoe and Centennial. Orange oil, sticky honey and minimal medium malts, with mostly base malt, no iced tea and no toast. Nice.
Marmalade and pine with woody Simcoe and very slight cherry-like fruitiness. Soft, sticky, supportive texture with some chew to it and good attenuation. Bitterness is deftly managed and not overdone. No resin, no big pine. Really nice use of a chewy maltiness to soak up the extra acid, while not making a gross, resinous, toasty WC IPA.
