473mL can, pours a cloudy dark orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of syrupy caramel malts, some bready malt, and subdued resinous hops. Flavour is clumsily balanced, with lots of strange fungal hops, bready caramel malt, sticky resinous hops, and some syrupy malts. Too sweet and malty, with an odd herbal hop expression. Not egregious, but very clumsy with a poor hop expression. Not great.

473mL can. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Dry old pine and resins on the nose. Flavour has a thick, bordering syrupy malt expression, some dry old pine, resins, an odd grassy character. Pretty ham-fisted.

Hazy amber, it goes big on the sweet and syrupy vibes, not attenuating quite enough. Yet remaining boozy and unhoppy. This feels like it just wasn’t put together well, which is disappointing considering Jet Fuel (it’s little brother) is pretty solid.

Pours amber with moderate head.
Aromas of fruity grapefruit, pine, and doughy malts. Flavors follow same with a bit of resin and milder biscuity malts. A nice West Coast IPA
