Pint can from Festival Fond du Lac, 8/8/21. Hazy orange, large tan head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit, honey. Seems stale even though I've had it a couple weeks. Taste is tangerine, resin, lime, caramel malt. Strong bitterness. Nice.

Wisconsin certainly does have some good double IPAs. This is really nice. Silky smooth but still pretty boozy. Fruity and piney. Pop. 600

On tap at The Rigby. Pours a hazy deep copper with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy pine and light resin with a strong sweet grain backbone. Flavor has earthy pine with a touch of resin and a good amount of sweet grains supporting.

it’s a lot milder in aroma that in flavor. The two are similar, but with the flavor , the west coast style comes out. Personally , let prefer them more balanced .

On tap. Pours a hazy amber/ruby in appearance. Aroma is caramel malt and dank woodsy pine. Taste is sweet with all that malt (a supporting role?). Prob too much imho, as the hop profile seems a bit off. Pine, citrus, and caramel with a lingering bitterness. Too sweet for me, but a nice effort by Potosi nonetheless.

Tap at Jacs. Filtered looking orange-amber body. Foamy off-white head. Fruity, syrupy aroma. Odd malty tones like the added extract to get the ABV up...which was 10%, not 7%. Amateur hour IIPA. Toffee sugary tones kill it.

Draft. Pours a clear dark amber with a ruby hue. Aroma of sweet malt and dank citrus. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Pine and citrus with caramel and toffee. Pretty good. A little on the sweet side, but this is probably one of the better potosis out there.
