8.8/10
Loads of coffee, maple syrup, toffee, vanilla, barrel and chocolate sauce. Nicely balanced and complex, quite sweet but always a treat.

Can. Pretty much opaque brownish orange with a loosish 2cm white head. Enveloping citrus, peach and tropical fruit aroma. Vague bready malt is not too gluey, and resin as well as fruity emerges towards a finish that's a bit astringent as well as bitter.

12oz can. Poured a nice clear orange color with a small white head, some lacing. Aroma was nice orange zest, some citrus. Crispy. Light bitterness, not an overwhelming citrus in this one.

Grapefruit nose, piney accents. Cloudy amber, medium head. Pronounced and almost singularly grapefruit. Medium body, easy carbonation. I had to buy the whole 4-pack for this tick, something I rarely do. No buyer's remorse at all. Very tasty.

2$ can at chalet. Pop the lid and the room is permeated with fresh clean hop perfume and a hint of pine. Nice head on top of a near milkshake looking off pale brew. First taste is pale ale? Not sure; think IPA. Yea, one of the stronger ruder pale ales if that's the case. Bitter, slightly difficult, unless yo like IPA, and somewhat forward. Bolder bitterness than most pale ales and a distinct hop flavor that defines IPAs. Yes, I've had many an IPA that was less bitter than this. For this lager lover, pseudo has a long way to go to be as civilized as Indigo Imp Jester, Fin City White Marlin or even Rhinegeist Beer for Humans. Except the taste, the appearance, aroma and co2 are not bad.
