Right from the weiss $2 can I was expecting a hazy pale ale, but its not hazy; its clear yellow. Usually a blonde will have a little haze to her look, right? First big swig is somewhat annoyingly astringent, just slightly. Its already talking back to me. In a glass it makes a big white foamy head. Yea, flavor seems like it should be more than 5%, fer sher. It just somewhat lacks in civility, you know, blondes are more civil, right? Towards the end I'm getting a little annoyed, its not getting any better. It's just a tick. A decent tick, almost. Move on, those blondes.

Not expecting much since I hate IPA. The smell is off IPA hop sweet perfume, like a mate covering up for a shower. It looks fairly clear and yellow with a big frothy head. From a can this stuff is initially rubbery thick and sticky, lots of big ass bitterness from the start. Nasty rude and pompous. Terribly titillating. There is so much impact here, you'd never ignore it. Big strong blasting brutal IPA bear beer. In the middle it goes deeply sharp and astringent bitter after each big slug. White foamy head goes rocky. This stuff is so bitter it almost triggers the gag reflex, but not really, just bitter almost. At least there is 7% in this to make it worth my ticking effort: During the session, I'm catching some euphoric undefined uncommunicative undignified and unconstitutional psychological effects. It's a hacking halfhearted haggard hallucination. Hapless harangue. At the interrogating finish is a hairy harsh hasty hassle. Viscous vehement vain venom ending. A terribly on style IPA, could easily pass as a decent double impy IPA as well. There you have it.

Clear gold pour with a one finger white head. The aroma is of grainy malt and honey. The flavor is sweet with grainy malt, honey, and minimal hops bitterness. Light bodied.

3 week old can A: Poured a dirty dull pale yellow haze with minimal head or lace. S: Complex fruity aroma with orange, tangerine, mango and peach. T: Bitter citrus notes fade to reveal a lacking malt presence save for a faint woody sweetness. M: Light, smooth and well carbonated, finishing clean with no hop burn. O: Tasty enough overall despite some thinness and unappealing look.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a glass. Hazy pale yellow with small white head. Aroma is lime, medium body, lower carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is lime, margarita mix, brine, and tart. Nice one.

Typical apple cider aroma. Flavor is semi-sweet apple cider, a little dry. Little to none of the other flavors detectable.

Single can from Tasty Beverage in Asheville. Duvel glass @ home. Pale, not quite clear, yellow pour with a slight green tint. Spicy green hop scent, papaya-like, acidic apples. Taste is like a mixture of hops, floral pear juice & tart orange. More like Orangina soda oranges. Spritzy carbonation, slightly yeasty, turning soft & juicy. Not bad honestly.

Can shared at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy golden straw color with a small bit of white foam. Mango and pineapple aromas with some light apricot and dank notes as it warms. Smooth and creamy on the palate. Easy drinking. Lingering tropical hop notes and little to no bitterness.
