12 oz. bottle at Ashley's house. Thanks Ashley! Pours a crystal-clear orange-gold color with a long-lasting white head. Strong bourbon aroma. More of a bourbon flavor than I expected too. This has less pumpkin flavor than any of the other 95 pumpkin beers I've had, but it's not bad. The 10.0% ABV was warming, not aggressive. Smoother than I expected. Okay.

Mostly clear coloured golden and light yelllow coloured body with a nice three centimetre tall microfoamed tan head that stays afloat nicely and leaves a rich lace on the sides. Aroma of super tropically and very fruity notes with some crisp grape scents, a lot of pineapple, guava and papaya notes with a strong kick of caster sugar as well, with no hop bitterness noticeable, but the nose is very nice! Light to Medium-bodied; Rich fruity flavours show at first with the fresh grapes, cherries and especially tropically guava and flavours show stronger than any malt or hops here, in a good way. Aftertaste shows a bunch of sugars and super fruity, crisp and tropically notes that hit nicely and are balanced slightly by the soft malts, with no hop bitterness here at all. Overall, a super new-school, very fruity, sweet, easy drinkable and flavourful beer that has NO bitterness, no complexity or range, but in this case, that's okay! Good to sample and if you want a fruity, properly balanced and easy-drinking, pure new-school IPA, this is it - get it NOW! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Siciliano's Market in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 03-August-2021 for US$1,89 canned on 19-December-2020 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 22-June-2022.

12 ounce bottle, 7/29/23. Clear amber, thin head, poor retention. Aroma of vanilla, tangerine, oak, whiskey, butter, urinal cake. Taste is vanilla, tangerine, butter, whiskey, marzipan. Too sweet. If it weren't for BYO sections I'd never buy these. Pretty cloying and reminiscent of sunblock. Not good.

Bottle. Clear copper pour with a small off-white head that soon dissipates to a fine ring around the glass. The aroma is faint and indistinct--I really could not make anything out. The taste is caramel malts, brown sugar, and a trace of whiskey. The palate is medium in viscosity. Finished short and sweet. Overall: I'm not happy
