Pounder: Dark roasted malt, coffee nose. Mahogany, thin tan head. Charcoal, raisin. Full body, easy carbonation, chalky, subtle prickly heat. Enjoyable, but perhaps a little timid. I expected a little bolder spice character.

Crisp, fairly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of very bright and tropical fruits with some light pine, a touch of grass and perfume and ending with some light sugars and a bit of guava and oranges. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive biscuity and grainy malt flavour at first with a heavy hand of amarillo and more earthy and grainy hop flavourswith a touch of grass near the end. Aftertaste shows the pure biscuit flavours, a bunch of yeast, a larger dose of more earthier, mushroomy and oatmealish malts with a high bitter quality from the hops without too much complex characteristics. Overall,a relatively potent and pungent APA with some nice tropical fruit notes and quite a big earthy quality that shows well. Nice enough to sample, but not worth going way out of the way for or trying to find. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Food Lion in Onley, Virginia on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 27-January-2018 for US$1,67 sampled at home in Washington on 30-January-2018 just three days later.

16 oz can shared by a friend, thanks Sam! Dark brownish black with light tan head. Aromas of spice, roasty notes. Tastes of bitter slightly burnt ground coffee, dark chocolate. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Pretty good attempt. Would like a bit more body and less bitterness in the coffee notes.

Somewhere: pours amber with large off white head. Very light amber and bread aromas. Taste is pretty subdued. Lightly sweet. Easy drinking but very boring.
