Can. Slightly cloudy. Amber in color with a two finger head. What makes this beer pretty good is it's malty backbone. Gives it a sweet upfront taste with a bitter finish.

US pint, on-tap at Surf City Ale House, 11th January 2023. Clear golden/amber with a white head. Nice strong brew with a good balanced blend from the hops and malts. Neither hop bitter or malty sweet, just a good beer.

Infected, I guess. Bubbly, spontaneous fermentation-style carbonation, and sour funky overtones on the nose. Caramel malts, some grapefruit and pine hops, underlined by horseblanket and lemon. I know this isn’t a wild IPA, so it’s a QA issue. Not undrinkable, but this can’s a mess.

Bottle from Green Mountain Liquor. A bit of a gusher, but settled down to a hazy amber body with small,, creamy head. Aroma is a pleasant blend of malt and hops, taste comes in favoring the malts by a tad. Hops remain in the background, or behind the net in this case, but finish it off with a bit of bite. Cheers to Wayne!

Very hazy deep gold beer, tidy cream coloured head, Palate is smooth, semi dry and slightly viscous. Reasonable fine carbonation. A little toffee in the fairly thin malts. Mellow pine and soft marmalade. A modicum of hop skunk. Smooth finish brings light bitterness. Lacks any hop brightness but it’s fine.
