Poured my own in the Barrel Republic, Oceanside California on 25th March 2019. Light golden body, clean and clear; on top a snow white blanket of bubbles that hung around for a while. Decent enough blend with the hops just about winning the aroma and taste stakes with a mild resinous lead in both the nose and flavour. Easy drinking brew.

On tap at The Barn, San Diego. Amber with a small head. Sweetish with hops, malt and some caramel. On the thin side. Nothing special.

Pour is a oily black with a thick and creamy tan head. Aroma a real nice char and bitter bakers chocolate. Very rich smelling. Flavor is a super rich chocolate German chocolate cake with a decent roast and bitterness. This has a very chocolate syrup like mouth feel with just the right amount of sweetness, roasted malt and bitterness. This was real nice.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is a big pine and grapefruit. Reminds me of those first IPA's we used to get around here back in 2004. Flavor is some honeysuckle with some malt sweetness and some pine and bitter hops. This is one of those beers where the second it is past the best by date it will turn into a malt bomb. Since there is no date on the can I don't know if that has happened yet but it is on it's way. The aroma was nice the hops were kind of subdued in the flavor and the sweet malt kind of took over.

Thanks Justin for sharing the can! Poured into a taster showing well filtered pale gold with sparse white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of refreshing pineapple and cannabis. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Light flavours of refreshing pineapple and cannabis with a strong bitterness.
