Can at home picked up in Dawson Market, Washington DC, 24th March 23. Pours a dark amber and clear ale, form white head. Aroma is resinous pine, burnt caramel. Taste is classic old school west coast, resinous, sticky pine, bitter citrus. Nice bitter linger. Lovely

16oz can pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is citrus hops some floral pine notes and bread malts. Taste is more of the nice citrus hop combo and well balanced malt bill.

16 ounce can. Hazy yellow gold color. Large rocky beige head leaves clinging lace. Sharp citrus hop nose. Flavor is tangy citrus. Notes of blood orange, lemon and tangerine. All this on top of a bready malt base. Some dankness from the Azacca and Amarillo hops. Stone fruit notes in finish.

Ridiculously hazy golden, raw honey coloured body, almost 90 per cent opaque, with a super dense, frothy tan and even golden head, about eight centimetres tall at first that fades to just an ugly lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of alcohol, deep floral and perfumey hops with noticeable grassy and funky Azacca dryness and a light hit of sugars towards the end, but this smells dank and bitter. Medium-bodied; Deep medicinal flavours at first show a pungent grainy and floral bite from the hops with a lot of dryness, some yeast and softer sugars give it a bit more complexity and some light earthy and biscuity malt provide a relatively good balance. Aftertaste is deep, medicinal, slightly astringent and showing a dry, deep, dank hoppiness with Azacca first (in a bad way for me), but some alcohol and yeast funk, too - but good balance. Overall, an appropriate beer for the style, and I would have liked it a lot better had they NOT used Azacca. I liked the premise 'The Fallen' more than the actual beer, but cheers to them for doing this and of course the men and women who have given their lives fighting for our great country. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 09-June-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-June-2020.
