2$ can from vintage estates. Pour is cloudy pale with a big white bubbly head. Nose something like green pine cones. First taste is bitter fresh mild fruit. Green grapefruit rinds and snubber clubber rubber. Somewhat intense and scintillating. Not viscous like many other heavy IPA. In the middle, turning out like many other rude ass IPA; tastefully vulgar, crude, gaudy, tacky, unrefined, inappropriate, indecorous and unseemly. Just how I feel about most terribly on style IPA. Finish is not as punishing as most IPA. There, you have it.

Thanks fonefan! Deep ambery copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is dried fruits, some toffeeish tones and mild alcohol with some wooden and mild barrel tones. Flavour is barrels, alcohol, dried fruits, some toffee and mild dried fruits. Nice dried fruits and chocolate syrup in aftertaste.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fairly thin bodied pale malts, it kinda works here though, lets the Strata hops come through. Light cooling pine, bright zingy hop fruits and a decent nip of hop spice. Passion fruit? Yes for a change! Along with some bright mandarinish thing going on, like mandarin but not mandarin. Light juicy hop finish finds the ubiquitous cooling pine most pronounced. Probably the best Strata single hop beer I have had.
