3$ can from the giant bird of prey in Pgh. Eye, is pretty much simple pale and clear. Very fresh pine cone nose, like I’m out on a hike and I pick a green juicy cone off a conifer and break it open for the aroma. First taste is of course bitter as all misery; gehenna and purgatory. An ordeal nightmare. Rude and crude; totally terribly tittless and actually in fact on style. A progressive liberal ordeal of pandemonium. Assuredly an affliction in abyss. Undeniably a torment and suffering for a macro pale lager lover’s taste-bud. Beer? No, its a preponderance of rosebud wicked bitter eye pee aye, doctor prescribed, medicine. Such a manly beer, I need to mansplain the flavor to the better half. Exponentially a suffering perdition. Its an underworld trial of torment. Undeniable wretchedness. No tropical billingsgate in this bullish bomber. At least its got some carbonation to balance out the mouth coating hogwash poppycock. What else can be said? If you like IPA, put this on yer bucket list. There, you have it. Whew. The only thing going for this is the aroma of a Christmas tree.

Exceptionally clean. Balanced grassy-citrusy hop bite. Lightly sun-kissed pale malts. Some semi-juicy citrus fruit. Faint dank notes. Golly that’s good.

Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours crystal clear golden - blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy, tropical fruit vibes, mango, green banana, fruit cocktail and tinned peach. The taste is initially smooth, then you get some bitterness/dryness right upfront, fruit cocktail, green banana, pithy citrus, green, weedy edge, grapefruit vines, peppery spice and resin with a drying, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. I like the bitter snap to it. Moreish.

Hazy gold in color with a three-finger head. Aroma is tropical fruit. Taste is also tropical fruit, sweet upfront, fruity in the middle with a bitter finish.

Floral, fruity. Worthless.

Can. Just unclear amber with a good inch of white head. Mainly citrus aroma - kumquat - with some grass and breadcrust. Wouldn't have guessed Kiwi hops. So it tastes - bittersweet with maybe not quite enough body to carry the hops.
