To honor our fallen friend (Max Senner) we all got together and concocted this absolute BEAST of an IPA. Max himself would be no less than stunned by the complexity and pure awesomeness in this Can.
Exactly 3 years ago I received a call from Max's mom that he was no longer with us and had passed on the 30th of April 2023. Which is why we chose this date for the release of this commemorative Beer.
Enjoy and raise a glass to Max!

Can picked up from Craftbeershop webshop, Parchim, Germany and consumed at home Friday 29th May 2026 on the swinging seat at the top of the garden. We bought our E-Mtbs today, whoop whoop 🥳. We have made Harissa Lamb Meatballs with Broad Beans and Garlic Yoghurt for tea tonight. Pours holly yellow with a large white head, hazy appearance. This is a v.nice West Coast IPA, or to be more exact a DIPA Westy. Nice resinous touches but there is a also tropical and citrus aromas flavours, more pithy citrus, I'm picking up a little pink grapefruit if I'm not mistaken. Nice balance, sweet but also with a lengthy bitterness that really runs, drying on the finish. Score: 7.9

Can. Mostly clear, deep golden. Pine, late summer, wood, sweetness, stone fruit, bubblegum. Front heavy, fizzy, sticky dry chalky bitterness, followed by dry pine and a bit oily. Good one.

Can, RIP Max, we miss you. Unclear golden-amber color with white head. Aroma is big pine, resin, toasted malts. Taste is sticky pine, powdered sugar, bitter finish, a dash of parmigiano. Oily mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Big one, very west coasty!
