Pint can from Beer Run, 7/31/22. Slightly hazy orange, medium foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of pineapple, dank, passionfruit, booze. Taste is mango, orange, passionfruit, booze. Too sweet, fruit forward. Booze not too bad. Sweetness is off-putting and it could get cloying. Not a fan of these guys so far.

Super hazy deep orange and bronze coloured body with a fairly thin, single centimetre tall tan head that fades quickly and leaves barely a layer on top. Aroma of deep citrus fruits, resin, pine, flowers, with a great deal of malt body noticeable, tons of sugars in the nose and a deep peppery and very astringent scent of alcohol. Full-bodied; Super rich and dense malty mouthful at first with a lot of citrus fruits, a good deal of dry peppery and floral components with a lot of resinous, dank sweetness at the end. Aftertaste is pungent, dry, very bitter from the hops of course, but at least quite complex from the range and profile of all the hops, with great support from the malt and sugars too...that leave this rich throughout. Overall, a very strong, but fairly well-balanced and nuanced beer with great range of the hops, but yes, a lot of pungency from the alcohol, malt and sugars. Nice to have from the countryside and hopefully I can visit here sometime, but with beers this 'big', my wife would be driving back to the city with the kids and me asleep in the passenger seat. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Ye Old Spirit Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 09-February-2021 for US$5,39, canned on 26-January-2021 'Pack Your Bags', sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-March-2021, Pi Day.
