No date on the can, but this pint tastes well-aged. Caramel and pine and a vegetal undercurrent followed by a lengthy bitterness. Not great, maybe better when young.

A little juicy, a little hoppier than I like. But a very pleasant IPA. Thanks Patty S.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear, brassy gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is mixed lemon/grapefruit with a touch of melon - not green melon. Med body. Flavor is pretty much the aroma with some pale malt in support. Fairly dry. More than fairly bitter. Nice ale.

Pint can thanks to Drake! Brazil beer #5. Clear gold with a white head. Lemony grapefruit, bread, orange nose. Lemongrass, grapefruit peel, yeast, light bread crust, green grasses and leaf. Tasty.

Much maltier than I’d expected. Slightly spicy hops. A little oxidised.

Pint can from Woodman’s Oak Creek, 10/16/22. Hazy orange, large white head, above average retention. Aroma of floral, earthy hop, white grape. Taste is mango, white grape, pale malt. Juicy, delicate. Nice. Not really an “American” IPA though.
