Bought locally. Packaged April 24th 2025.
Beautiful pour, clear gold, over an inch of foam, good retention and lacing.
Smell is hoppy to the max, some definite alcohol aromas, caramel malt that sweetens it up, some dankness.
Taste is uber hoppy, dank, citrus, some minor sweetness, hint of pine, big alcohol kick. Yow.
Full bodied, pretty high carbonation, it's a triple IPA. Not my favourite style but I do dig this.

Pours deep, clear gold into a stein. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Caramel and sourdough aromas. Medium bodied with sweet caramel and molasses upfront turning to earthy multigrain and mild hot plastic in the lasting finish.

750 c&c Liz brought from the Chico Taproom. Pours dark brn/blk with a dark tan head that was huge and slowing fizzed away. Aroma of dark malt, rum, bourbon, treacle and red berries. Far from dry. Heat and toasted malt stand in for hop bitter. This is really, really good ale.
