US Pint can from Mirage Wines & Liquor. Drank at our Air B&B in Palm Springs on 17th April 2025. My can claims Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe. Mostly clear golden body, white crown, tropical fruit aroma and taste, slight peachy lead maybe. Nice easy going semi-sweet IPA with a good hoppy feel.

Peach color, mild sweet tart aroma. Thin lasting lacing. Nice blend of sweetness and moderate sourness, leans to the sour side. Under ripe peach at the end. Smooth sour aftertaste.

On tap at Angel's Trumpet Ale House, pours a cloudy muddled amber red with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of musty blueberries, hay, and big lacto. Flavour is dry and fruited, with musty hay-like notes, dry blueberries, and lacto. Pretty standard fruited kettle sour but at least it's fermented dry. Decent.

5oz pour on a flight in The Brewhouse, SJC on 18th June 2024. Nearly clear golden pour, white crown. What is a 'Cold IPA'? well this one had a strange lemon citrus front with a white wine like undertone, thought it fine!

4oz. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: loads of nice vanilla and chocolate, some American oak. Taste: dark fruits, booze is definitely here, lots of bourbon, some vanilla. Overall: I was expecting much more based on the fantastic aroma. Still quite good, though.

Pour is a dark but clean brown with a large tan head. Aroma is a slight roasted malt with an even slighter chocolate. Flavor is a little more bitter bakers chocolate with a minor nutty finish. A little watery but everything was still there you're looking for.

From Good Times Oakland, no dating on the can.

It pours a cola colour with a fine layer of tan foam, good lacing, not bad head retention.

The smell is plenty of cocoa nibs, vanilla, mild roast, on the sweet side. Nice.

The taste is cocoa nibs, vanilla, not so sweet taste wise, bit of a bitter bite in the finish. Alcohol is there and provides some warming.

High end of medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel.

This is good overall.
