Can: Honey and grapefruit nose, malty but balanced. Crystal clear amber, medium head. Grapefruit flavor, again with a rich honey malt backbone. Full body, soft carbonation. I haven’t had a Tommyknocker beer in years, but I’m glad I gave them another try. This was good and they seem to have gotten better.

12oz bottle. Slightly hazy orange-bronze body. Big, steady, foamy off-white head. Has some nice resinous citrus tones in the aroma. Sort of standard US IPA, some West Coast tendencies. Has a kind of gritty feel to it. A little mundane, but a decent enough IPA.

12oz can pours with a nearly clear copper body that supports an off white head. The timid aroma offers up some malts, some earthy sort of hops, a dash of citrus and then a thin ribbon of caramel. The taste start malty and kind of sweet and quickly gets into vague resiny hop bitterness that has a malt sweetened pine thing going on. To midway I can’t tell if this is getting estery with sweet apple and prune fruitiness or vaguely citrus hard candy sort of hoppiness. It stays resiny with hops into the finish with just too much sweet malt baggage.

12 ounce can from I don’t remember where. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a large foamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of tropical, citrus hops, a bit of pine, toasted malts and caramel. The taste is citrus, tropical, candied citrus hops, mild berry notes, mild caramel malt. Medium bodied, decent balance. Nice beer.

Curious little liquor store near me has a small selection of a lot of things that nobody would want to drink, and every now and then something really nice, or at least unexpected, shows up. Got a 6 pack cans. Amber color, haze. Pitted head, good lacing. Big citrus nose, grapefruit and lemon rind, a hint of bread dough caramel malts. Flavor is lemon spice , bready, lingering spicy resin hop, peppery. Touches of grapefruit juice. Semi-dry finish. Fairly balanced, I like it.
