Probably can at the US vs. CZ west coast blind tasting. The most obviously American (apart from Swami) of the bunch, this one was a hydrogen bomb of West Coast. Clear pale golden body, white head. Enormous dank, oniony aroma, some tangerine, bit of alcohol - so enormous that it, realistically not the most inviting aroma in the world, put off many at the table, and might be the reason, though it screams MURICAAAA!!! with bald eagles flying around it that some didn't nail it as American - the don't like it, probably Czech guess I reckon. Huge taste, resin, citrus notes, onion again. Warming, intensive but drinkable. Fun fun fun!

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 11, 2024. Aroma is fairly hop forward with moderate notes of sweet citrus and dank, resinous pine. Light bready grain notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a clear, brilliant, yellow-gold with a medium large, medium thick, frothy, white head that recedes fairly quickly to a small, thin, film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt and bready notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate citrus hop notes with quite a bit of dank, resinous pine that lingers into the finish. Fairly dry, crisp finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid malt liquor. Nice hop notes, especially in the aroma. The crisp, dry finish really accentuates the pine resin notes in the flavor. Light, crisp malt flavor.
