16oz can. Horrible aroma. Stale oniony nastiness. Gas station meth hazy. Really bad. Makes me sick to my stomach. Horrible.

Magus, mehune, tsitrus, puuviljane, tugev alks, nata vesine ehk. Okish, see alks häirib ikka tõsiselt.

Pour is slightly hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is oranges and white sugar. Aroma is sugar covered oranges with a decent pop of bitterness. Not the best hazy IPA by a long shot but was going in the right direction it just needed a bit more fermentation to reduce the sugar.

Stovepipe can from Haggen's, Everett, WA, 26.10.22, 6 months old
Blond colour, hazy to cloudy; compact, medium sized head. Not a fresh can, but the aroma is fruity: nectarine, a hint of sweet citrus. Dry mouthfeel (drier than most Hazy DIPAs), not much to say about the malt, and unfortunately there is the usual, boring, Hazy base of raw flour; the hop provides enough bitterness, with some bitter orange character; interestingly enough, in the end there's a note of tropical fruits.
Good; and this could have been better if fresher.

19.2 oz. can from HEB, San Antonio, TX. Pours a cloudy gold color with a small white head and decent retention. Only a few spots of lacing. Grapefruit, pineapple, and hops aroma. The taste follows the nose with soft grapefruit and pineapple notes and a hoppy, bitter, and dry finish. More subtle than the 50 IBUs would suggest. Surprisingly mellow and smooth for an imperial IPA. The 8.4% ABV is dangerously well hidden. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Subtle bitterness. Better than I expected.

Very hazy deep orange and bronze coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall pure off-white head that does fade pretty quickly. Medium-bodied; Strong citrusey and resinous kick from the hops with a light piney quality and some relatively smooth wheatie malts shows at first with a noticeable bitterness from the alpha acids of the hops and a soft sweetness on the end. Aftertaste shows some deep and relatively bitter grassy and especially citrusey, grapefruity hops without much sweetness, but a smooth malt bite on the end, which makes the focus just on the hops. Overall, a nice enough IPA that doesn't really hit Imperial Status and instead shows more of a West Coastie bite with some addiitional citrus fruit notes. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from SafeWay in Falls Church (Seven Corners), Virginia on 13-September-2022 for US$8,00 (four pack) sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-September-2022 before seeing Enter Shikari here in Washington at the Union Stage.

Orange, biscuit malt, pine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate white head. Very sweet orange/lime, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter floral grapefruit peel flavor. Good body.

Sweet, with a good bit or vanilla and corn syrup underneath the moderate notes of mango, pineapple, lemongrass, and bubblegum. Almost a solid pint, but not quite.
