Undated 4 pack of cans drunk fresh to about 1.5 months old, most recently on 1/23/25.
Fairly heavily hazy, peach-tangerine-golden. Large, white head.
Nose is just an incredible amount of mineral alongside tangerine and lemon. Bright, with a healthy mix of both cracker and honey-like malts to gently balance. Good acidity, nothing overdone, with light tropical and stone fruits lingering on the crisp, clean, mineral-rich finish.
Soft, juicy, malty, very hoppy with excellent bitterness. Stone fruit, pine, pineapple. Varied yellow fruits but always backed by pine which is nicely balanced by the honey-rich maltiness with excellent, supple textures. No twang, chalk, alcohol. Just rich hop and malt. Great balance and huge drinkability. The Alchemist seems to have entered a Golden Age.
