355 ml can, as Sierra Nevada Rad Little Thing IPA, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 7%. Hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of citric and piney hops. Medium dry flavour, with a distinct resinous bitterness throughout. Fair enough, but not the best beer from SN.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Appleton, 2/15/24. WTF is a west coast hazy? Aroma of lemon, lime, pale malt. Taste is grapefruit, lemon, lime. Well balanced.

Aroma is cantaloupe, floral, tangerine, crackery malt, light onion. Taste is moderately building to highly bitter with citrusy, piney flavors. Goes down really smooth. One of the better entries in this series for sure.

Slightly hazy dark gold with a huge creamy white head. Tangy, sweetish, bitter and somewhat rough with piney and floral hops. Long finish. Medium body.

I can still rate a beer - I got one in Feb to officially round out the every month the site exists streak. And its a fine if not standard hazy, I mean it has a bit more of a punchy hoppiness, which I guess is the west coast element. Certainly a good beer for what it is, and it will have to be the end of it.
