Can at home. Aroma is biscuity malt, soft stone fruits, peach, buttery notes, caramel, toffee, mild hops. Flavour is light sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Maltier than I expected with some buttery notes.

From tap at Barcade, New York. Big rye malt aroma with caramel, dried red fruits, rye spiciness, nutty notes. Moderate to medium sweet flavour with a light to moderate bitterness. Above medium body, surprising. Sweet and rich rye beer, liquid bread indeed.

Hazy yellow-orange with a two-finger finger head. Aroma is citrus and a tad odd funk. Taste was the same. Not a very good IPA.

A great aroma comes off a creamy off-white head that slowly snakes down the sides of the glass. There is a slight astringent note that seems to follow the hops bitterness that detracts slightly, and is perhaps the only fault in an otherwise excellent IPA.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Appleton, 11/18/24. Hazy orange, large off-white head. average retention. Aroma of sweet fruit punch and citrus. Taste is much the same. This is chasing the Kool Aid trend. Sad.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours very dark brown with a large and persistent dark tan head. Aroma of roast and chocolate. Arguably med body. Malty but dry. Roast and chocolate for flavor. Moderately bitter.
