Very hazy deep and golden coloured body with a thin white head, only one centimetre tall above the 90 per cent opaque body with some small bubbles still rising from the sides. Aroma of alcohol, honey, caster sugar, grass with some biscuity malts, too - strong in the nose. Full-bodied; Ultra rich oaty malts hit first, but the very astringent and aggressive medicinal and bitter hops & alcohol are strongest and don't go down easily, with some light aspartame and orange notes near the end, but the alcohol burn is strong here. Aftertaste is deep, but the astringent alcohol burn with the medicinal flavours, strong malt & grainy notes with nothing real pleasant on the end, makes this pretty bad overall - much worse than others in this series! Overall, a VERY bad & passible option and with some stand out GOOD beers from this series, these beers are really all over the map in a bad way & you never really know what you're going to get until you open it and try it! This one is plain bad - too pungent, strong and not showing nearly any good notes. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine (Store #214) in Fairfax, Virginia on 23-April-2023 for US$6,49, canned on 10-October-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 30-May-2023.
