Can from Mr Barleywine, thanks for sharing.
Mostly clear light gold color with a bubbly white head that persists. Holy nose and flavor, old school west coast hops and no haze how I've missed you!

Bought locally, canned February 4th.

Pours a clear gold with over a finger of foam, retention and lacing are excellent.

The smell is hoppy with notes of pine and grapefruit. There's a hint of tropical fruit.

The taste is pine, grapefruit, tiny hint of tropical fruit, toasted malt, comes across as very dry as the double dry hopping does its thing.

Slick mouthfeel, I would drink this again.
