Mix pack gifted by my neighbor right after the hurricane hit. Clear Solo cup at home, a month in & still no clean water. Gotten quite used to the sophisticated rounded edges of this. BB Jan 2025 Hazy honey tea pour with a strong whipped head. Smells of sweet pine, lemon & milky caramel. Astringent sweet tea, orange pith, sweet pine, dusty earth, baking soda. Lingering pine. Starchy, medium high acid, kinda stiff, heavy. Free99 drinks pretty good. Thanks neighbor!

New Belgium IPA mix pack from Kroger, I suppose. I already drank two of the three without checking to see if I rated it (I did not... I had to add it). Here's the third and final can of this mix pack. Clear amber, white head, carbonation evident on the bottom of the glass. Nose is malty with some citrus background. It smells a bit stale, but it's not. Flavor is light apple, orange peel, light paper, green pepper. Nothing overpowering here. It does feel like a fall beer, but more of I'm tired than here's a harvest.
