Miserable pale ale, with a strong herbal dryness mixed with an unusually prominent sweet corn/caramel backbone and an off-putting burnt-plastic undertone (not unbearable but noticeable, enough to make me wonder if something's gone wrong with the canning of this pint). Hops add citrus and pine, but the sweetness grows as the beer warms, and those off flavors only get stronger. Decent wet malt-citrus-pine nose, and texture's good, but I very much hope this glass isn't how the brewers want Pixel Bomb to taste.

Can: Cloudy, light yellow with a small white head. Mild lemon, grapefruit, orange scent. Really juicy, almost pulpy citrus mix in flavour. Light citrus-peel bittering. quite sessionable......a nice one.

Can from Craft Brewed with no date as usual. Still not sure why 450 North does not date their cans (well I can assume why they don't). Pours a clearish copper with a finger of foam that lingers. Nice pineapple forward nose, light grass and guava aromas as it warms. Very nice nose honestly but no flavor on the palate. Thin and watery, without any of the tropical notes noticeable on the palate. Just a watered down caramel character on the palate. Past it's prime probably.
