Caleb Truax fans know his mantra, “Cut No Corners.” That’s because nothing’s ever been handed to him, from being humbly raised by a single mom to modestly starting his boxing career in night clubs and casinos. Outsiders were surprised, but Caleb’s insiders were not when he scored a majority decision to claim the IBF super-middleweight championship from James DeGale in December 2017. Naturally, Caleb’s signature beer also “Cuts No Corners,” a mandarin orange flavor with notes of coconut and citrus. Like it’s namesake, 8-Count is full body with a smooth finish.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy gold with a slight orange hue and a white head there dissipates to the edges. Aroma has tropical fruits and sweet citrus with a bit of grass underlying. Flavor has dank and sweet citrus with some mango and a bit of melon coming through.

Pours a hazy, honey-gold, with smallish head. Aroma is kind of muted, with some citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is more pronounced, with citrus and tropical fruit (coconut) present. Mouthfeel a touch thin. Moderate hop bitterness through the finish.

Orange, light coconut. Some grapefruit. Murky yellow pour with decent head and lacing. Hop tang finish. Lots of resin. Some caramel sweetness in finish. Can.

Canned March 29th 2021. Nothing on the can saying that this is a Hazy IPA.
It pours a hazy dark yellow with a good long lasting head of foam.
Smells of grapefruit and pine, tropical fruit. Blindfolded, I would guess that this is of the NEIPA style.
Loads of tropical fruit flavours, grapefruit, little pine, pineapple...taste is so familiar.
Good mouthfeel, decent beer that I have had before under different labels.

The fresh hops are mainly citrus and resin with a little pineapple and melon. Also some dry grain and pale malt. Flavors are like nose, a little more sweet than bitter with good carbonation. A touch dank too. Decent body and finish, good drinking beer.
