Ridiculously hazy straw golden coloured body with a very large-bubbled five centimetre tall off-white head that fades very quickly, almost like soda - the body looks amazing, but the head looks awful. Aroma of relatively astringent hops with some oranges noticeable, but also a dry malt presence and some slight herbal notes, but the hops seem strong. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich, sweet and pretty cloying sweetness and orangey/citrusey flavours show at first, but the big maltiness and lactose shows strongest, especially at the end, that makes this end LARGE! Aftertaste shows a rich, pretty malty beer that's a bear to get down, mainly from those malts of course, but also the cloying sweetness from the lactose and big orange notes. Overall, a pungent and very robust IPA that has a tiny amount of bitterness, but the sweetness and malt notes are a bit hard to overcome. Nice, but too deep and strong for me, especially in this format! It almost seems MORE than 8,7 per cent in this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 27-June-2022 for US$5,99, sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-July-2022.

16 oz can. Aroma is wheat and blackberries. Flavor of wheat, straw, and plenty of fresh blackberries. Weak tartness. Very simplistic and it’s nature. Makes a nice lawnmower beer.
