$2 can from vintage. Wow, this stuff makes a big thick foamy nitro-like off white head that lasts and then goes craggy. Maybe its because I dropped the can a couple of hours ago? hehehh. The eye is almost light pale milkshake IPA. Must say, its a nice pour! Nose is freshly cut green sappy pine cones. Taste is big fat bitter hops, whew, it coats yer mouth. There is this sense of immediately ruining my poor girlie lager loven palate, blast. Crappity, son of a monkey, bitchy, bloody bugger. Pine tar and crackers, holy cow shit, bollocks, frack, pissed barnacles. Having a real difficult time with this terribly on style mess. I better wait after I finish this because, any other beer I taste will come across like tasteless soda water. BTW, will somebody get me a glass bottle screw top quart of cheap pale lager in a paper bag to chase this with? Just asking. Another positive thing about this is its 10%, and that will ease my brain of the impact of this wrench. There, you have it.

Pours hazy orange. It has a very citrusy, hop heavy aroma. The flavor is moderately bitter and quite juicy. It’s very fruity with a hefty dose of malt and a full body. The high abv is mostly hidden. Very good.

Passion fruit, orange peel, some lemon. Hazy orange pour. A little booze and caramel. That kind of rides through the finish pretty heavily. Can.

Can. Pours hazy dark yellow with a large foamy off-white head, light citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, initially sweet citrus peel taste with an alcohol kick later on, pineapple flavor, thin body, long finish. Well balanced.

Impact Wrench, I will say that is a good name. NE style, less great, but that is my starting point. Pint can from the good folks at Halftime, the label says a packaged-on date of 4/12/22 so let us not wait another day. I have my New Belgium globe glass in place. A true-to-form hazy orange liquid with a representative, totally white, head that settles promptly. The nose is oranges and white bread. A taste now, definitely a step up. Juice for sure with dry crackers, straw, hops, malt, tropical, a touch of caramel and field. Substantial in sensation, a plus for me. Lightly bitter. Not bad for this brave, new world of IPAs.

Can (12/14/20) pour. Appearance is opaque dark yellow-light brown with no discernible sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is vegetal/musky, dank, milder citrus. Taste is nondescript sweet fruit balanced with malt base but a bit of isopropyl alcohol detracts. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick, meaty texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a hefty beer via mouthfeel and flavor, though somewhat nondescript and alcohol detracts a bit.
