From Bine and Vine, canned August 18th 2025.

Pours a clear pale gold with a half finger of foam, good retention and lacing.

Smell is strong with the piney hops, fruity as in semi tropical, has sweet notes, toasted malt.

The taste is pine up front, tropical fruit/dank notes, toasted malt with some sweet notes. Delicious.

Medium bodied with medium carbonation, I would certainly drink this again.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma initially pulses with tangelo and grapefruit with a hit of clementine before the inviting diesel hits with garlic and earthy dankness. The taste delivers just the right amount of depth, crispness, citrusy orange and grapefruit and then spicy slightly garlic and onion dankness yum. Damn! An aftertaste burp had a mild tropical fruit element to it as well.

Can courtesy of Ryan who brought it from the source, and most generously shared with Fil and me! Clearish golden body, off-white head. Menthol, earthy notes, melon, light onion and dank in the aroma. Caramelly malty backbone, menthol fully, somewhat herbal. Quite okay, but my least favorite of the bunch that day (at 3.7, hah!).
