Bottle from a six pack bought for a year end soccer party. Pours clear old gold with off-white head that retains as small bubbles around the collar and a slight dusting over the top. Orange and grapefruit aromas and flavor. Moderate bitterness. A bit of a sharp bitter spike near the end.

Pours mostly clear orange with a two finger head. It smells of citrus and berries with some hoppy dankness. The flavor is moderately bitter with citrus, berries, caramel malt, and hop resin. Medium bodied. Itβs more subdued than I expected.

12 ounce bottle from Deli Lama, 10/9/22. Clear gold, large off-white head, good retention. Aroma of lime, earth, grapefruit. Taste is mango, melon, lime, grapefruit. Juicy, mild bitterness. Reminds me of Jolly Ranchers for some reason.

Bottle from a sixer at the Woodland Nugget Market. Pours clear brassy gold with a white head. Aroma of cooked malt and mixed fruits. Arguably med body. Flavor is light red berry, peach/apricot, and a touch of melon. Something like Malt-o-Meal in support. Berry goes cherry in the finish. Needs more hops.

Again: This thing about a company making 100 different varieties of the same IPA is sickening. You know, voodoo ranger then rhiney cloud harvest and 50 other brewers with the same idea riding the IPA hop bandwagon fad. I'm not even goin to give this the time of day by pouring it into a glass, I'll glug this right down straight from the bottle. Stupid ass IPAs. Such a reprise. I bought this because it said something about berries cherries and orange. Turns out this is the description of the ekuanot hops; blah. Nose is inner tube rubber IPA perfume. Taste is also rubbery; rude ass spruce & pine tarry hops. Think about tasting the unscented handsoap in the squirt bottle from the bathroom and then mixing it with rotting green bitter grapefruit rinds. Yea, its clear and pale and so what? What ever. This is just another terribly on style IPA with an almost astringent bitter hop finish that lasts a lifetime. Somebody give me an icey cold clean pale lager for a chaser. Whew. Way too much for the girlie taste buds of a cheap pale lager lover. At least it has some co2 in there to distract me from the bullshit IPA bitter bastard bite. I bet every one of these volumes taste just about the same: Can you say big begrudging bitter balls? Blah, just another of ten gahzillion on-style IPA out there and they all practically taste the same - bastardly IPA hop BITTER!

Even at only 2 bucks for the tick, I'm passing by the next volume of this happy BS.

Not very assertive, with moderate notes of berry, cherry, peach, grapefruit zest, and minerals, followed by a touch of sweet malt and pine on the finish. Good, if a tad subdued.
