Can, thanks Dave! Cloudy golden, heavy UFOs offwhite cream. Grassy, trash piney aroma. Medium body, dry, light resins, grass, weird floaties did they misunderstand the thing with oat in the beer? fairly bitter in the finish. Grassy retronasal.

Can. Hazy golden color with floaties. Aroma is piney, white sugar, a bit cheesy but not too much. Taste is nice piney hops, dry and bitter, again a bit cheesy, but good taste. The main problem with this is that there are so many floatees that it's almost like eating cereal. This should not be the case. Flavourwise this would have been fine.

Can from the brewery Webshop. Drunk after a long rainy day of caring for a baby at home during this crazy Covid year (I.e. well deserved). Mostly-clear amber with a medium head. Great fruity-citrus-dank pineapple nose. Flavor brings all the well known West Coast funk with a crisp, clean, dry bitterness at the tail end. A bit drier than my preference but very well-made. Strongly recommended.

Stark hopfiger Beginn. Trotz der schnell auftretenden Bitterkeit weich, karamellig-grasiger Hopfen, Pinienkerne, erkennbarer Alkohol, schwer. Vollmundig hopfig bleibend, feinherb, etwas trocken im Hintergrund. Langer, würzig hopfiger Abgang. 10/11/13/12//12
