Retired Rides

Not really sure about this. Cans aren't dated, but this feels old. Or perhaps its not, as the hop character still feels present, but its just weird. First it sits really murky in the glass, deep orange-amber, but its described as a west coast style. Why is it so cloudy and murky? Nose has sherry like sweet malts and cardboard, but also some bright orange juice notes. Soft and creamy mouthfeel, resiny hops, more orange peel or resin elements. Fairly bitter, light mouthfeel, feels unbalanced with the soft dry malt profile of a hazy but the bitter finish of a west coaster. Sherry like notes persist. Cans aren't dated or batch stamped at all. I got this from Pats in Oviedo near UCF, reknown for selling old beers, but they've just completely remodeled and updated their entire store and it seemed as if they got an entire new beer inventory. But perhaps there were some old junk mixed in? I wish they dated their freakin cans!

12oz can at The Polite Pig.
Pours slightly cloudy orange with a medium sized white head, good lacing. Toffee, sweet malts, cardboard, citrus, mild bitter.
Ok
