Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours hazy gold, with fine white foam, fluffy and creamy. Aroma is intensely fruity, herbal and tropical, yeasty. Body is average, with moderate carbonation. Taste is medium-high bitter, with a hint of sweetness behind. Final is average.

Pours a hazy yellow from a can. Immediate notes of lemon, spicy yeast, some resiny spruce or pine. Similar flavor although somewhat downplayed. Good beer.

A golden beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has generic fruitness, it's slightly over riped. Taste has fruitness, fructose, wood. Medium bodied. Boring.

355ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orange, dark golden to amber colour with small, frothy, fading, white head. Grassy and minimally floral hoppy aroma, caramel malty background, a fruity touch of canned fruit, light herbal-spicy aspects as well, almost whiffs of marmite. Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty, slightly fruity hoppy, hints of canned fruit, peach, pear, mild hop bitterness, minimally metallic interludes. Slightly creamy-oily, watery texture, smooth and slightly dry palate, very fine, soft to flat carbonation. Obviously member of the Grandfather generation of craft beers, pretty basic - OK.

Honestly quite full and a bit boozy for a DIPA.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours translucent amber gold with a large foamy white head that laced going down. Aroma is kind of caramel. Med body. Flavor is kind of caramel with a little citrus hop. Crafted 2/28/2022, so maybe not representative of the brew.

A bit thin bodied, decent hopiness, and a bit of citrus.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Semi-clear gold color with a tiny white head and poor retention. Zero lacing. Prominent blueberry aroma. Very grainy blueberry flavor comes across as artificial. Light body. Medium carbonation. Slick mouthfeel. No bitterness. Not a very good beer, but there’s just enough blueberry flavor to save it from mediocrity. Interesting music tie-in, but the song doesn’t do anything for me either.

clear dark golden colour, moderate sized creamy ecru-ish off-white head; aroma of piney, citrusy, grassy, slight fruity and bread crusty notes; taste is similar to the aroma with some grape seeds; not bad
