7/XII/17 - 1Pt. can @ home - BB: n/a, canned: n/a (2017-2185) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the can!
Clear orange beer, small creamy irregular yellowish head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit grassy, very dank, marijuana, some citrus, grapefruit, bit cheesy. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: malty start, fruity touch, lots of resinous hops, really really bitter. Aftertaste: very bitter, resinous, way too bitter to be enjoyable, mouth puckering bitterness, very hoppy and dry. Smell is better than the taste.

Thnx to Kyle ! Drank from the can, to perserve the volotile hoparomas. No info on the pour, but the can does look nice. Blue-background sticker ( with a purple shade) covered with green hopcones. No date to be found, too little information, as skadoosh is a different beer every month. I would have prefered to be able to tell them appart, and to know the date. Investigation turned this one out as Skadoosh XIII, but I haven't got a cold hard fact to prove it. Please, Alchemist, date your cans ! Smell is semi-intense, dank hops, grassy, mild oniony notes. very little maltbase. has a sharp edge of herbal in the back end of the scent. Clean fermentation profile. Taste is intensely bitter. Def oniony, full, dank, grassy, relatively high bitterness. Earthy, almost, trough its resins. Very uplifted aftertaste, much longer than you're used to in these kind of IPA's. A beer that evolves and kinda grows on me. A real 'green' , danky/grassy/piny bitterness ends the flavor aspect, and starts a long aftertaste. Pretty good !

16 oz can, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy orange with a medium beige head and an absurd amount of sediment. Aroma brings out loads of piney hops, some resinous notes, citrus and biscuity malt. Flavour is loaded with lovely piney hops upfront, with a bit of citrus, and resinous hops. Oodles of piney hoppy goodness here with a dry biscuity malt base. Super drinkable and well-structured. Fantastic.
