473mL can. Pours opaque pale yellow with a small white head. Sour cream and onion chips with a ton of hop burn. Flavour is similar, plus a bunch of gritty chalk and putrid orange peels. Fuck me, this is egregious. The hop burn and chalk are unpleasant, plus the hop expression that is there is quite gross.

473mL can, pours an opaque milky yellow with a small white head. I can smell the hepburn from feet away – lots of chalk, allium, stone fruit pith, ugh. Flavour is off-putting, with intense hopburn, an almost sourness to it, chalk soup, and stone fruit pith. Full of hopburn, tartness, and muddiness, with few redeeming features. Not good at all.

Greyish pale yellow colour. Not much head. Pretty opaque. Smells like hop burn. Singes your nose hairs, and that's not a good thing. Maybe onion but really no other hop character. Lowish bitterness, some alcohol. Malts aren't bad, they bring some sweetness. The hop expression, though, is pretty bad. I mean, there's not much of anything you'd want in hops like citrus, fruits, or pine, it's just hop burn. Just not much attention to detail here.

Jan 23, 2025 (7/3/7/3/14=3.4): Poured from 473mL can. Opaque murky blonde with small white head. Chalky hop burn. Needs time to rest. May try to open another can in a couple weeks. On tap was better.
Jan 23, 2025 (8/3/8/4/16=3.9): Poured from the tap @ Slow Hand. Opaque murky blonde gold with small white head. Tropical hops, some pineapple, mild dankness, some hop burn.
