Darkish amber, kinda murky-looking, as these always are. Medium head. Old school chewy aroma, same palate. Crystal malt bomb in effect. Lots of alcohol. That early 00s IIPA base isn’t a great showcase for a hop like 586, and there’s limited unique hop expression here. It all just devolves into chewiness.

473 ml can. Pours a copper color with moderate foamy head. Aromas of dry pine, soapy guava, dull citrus and bready malts. Flavors follow same with emphasis on malts. Nothing really wrong though malts may be overshadowing the hops. In the end, just big malts and a bitter finish. Not in line with other wonderful Numbskull variants.

473mL can, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is full of rich caramel malt and sticky resinous hops—very malt-heavy. Flavour is extremely malty, almost syrupy, with sticky resinous hops, overripe melon, and some unfortunate herbal/vegetal notes. Too malty and odd hóp expression. Far from my favourite Numbskull variant.

473mL can. Pours clear gold with a white head. Pine, mango, and lots of caramel malts on the nose. Flavour is thick and malty, lots of overripe mango, and some resin. Very malty, erring on the side of syrupy. Brutal and uncoordinated.
