Canned 5/12/25, drunk 10/27/25.
Moderately hazy, peach-rose-tangerine. Big, frothy, well-retained, off-white head.
Juicy tropical fruit with a hint of berry, but no big acidity or astringency from the Krush. Spice and mild white grape from the well-behaved Nelson seems the most prominent, though hardly domineering. Simcoe seems to intensify both without leaving much of its own personality, which is fine with me (less woodiness). Clean, polished, cracker and white bread from the classic malt profile balances easily.
Big, succulent, sweet honey with tangerine and lemon acidity. Low bitterness. Almost a caramel character. Has obviously lost some zip over the months, but still shows an admirable aroma and hints of a bygone, ample bitterness. The malts are fat, though, which was almost certainly problematic when fresh. After pouring the remainder of the can in, I'm getting a more developed spice and lingering bitterness, giving more balance. Seems like a pretty well-made beer, just maybe tone the malt down (though their IPAs characteristically exhibit big, dense malts).

CBJ tasting, thanks to Tips for the can. A light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, fairly aged graininess. Soft pine. Ripe citrus. Airy finish. Tired.

Pint can. Mango aroma with notes of pineapple, passion fruit, orange, tangerine and grapefruit. Pourshazy golden orange colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy mango, passion fruit and orange flavors. Finishes dry but still smooth with pineapple, tangerine and grapefruit flavors. Quite nice.

Can @ Hops Hill - Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn NYC (June 2025). Pours cloudy dark yellow with foamy off-white head, faint citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter citrusy taste, alcohol undertones, thin body, long bitter finish. On the bitter side, though good flavors.
