Tasting at Ryan's, can; 02/oct/2023
Murky blond colour, seems oxidized, with light brown hue. Amazing aroma, pungent fruity hops, Nelson Sauvin - like, clementine. It's very chalky, quite dry; the lack of sugar mutes the hops, unfortunately; on the other side, the hop burn is quite strong.
Wonderful aroma, flavour is meh.

16oz shared with Phill and Alex @ Ryan's (thx, for the beer, man!). Appearance: murky golden with a white head. Aroma: dank, juicy, a bit grassy. Taste: along the same, very juicy, some sweetness, stone fruits. Some bitterness in the finish. Overall: good one.

12oz (thx, Cory S.!) @ Ryan's after kids' time. Appearance: nice dark brown with a quickly dissipating beige head. Aroma: vanilla, coffee, chocolate, American oak. Taste: along the same lines, almost on the edge with vanilla amount, nice integration with coffee. It's quite thin, though, for whatever reason. Especially as for 15.5% of the beer. Tastes more like 8%. Overall: good enough.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg 15/Nov/2021). Very dark brown with very quickly dissipating beige head. Quite vanilla forward (verging on vanilla bomb on the taste), mild bourbon, feint coffee (mostly seems to have fallen off or just covered by the vanilla). Booziness (compared to the non-Super/non-adjunct Never Say Never) seems to have subdued a bit. Decent, but still a bit rough around the edges. Same overall score as regular Never Say Never 2021.

Opaque. Fruity and a bit weedy aroma. There's a touch of hop burn, a light malt note, and modest bitterness. The alcohol comes into the finish, along with pear-like fruitiness. Decent stuff.

A hazed golden ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, light dank notes, light tropical fruits, very nice. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, very nice. On tap at Woodfest 2023.

Can 04/07/2023 Shared at Sams Hop Tasting - new 🇨🇦 brewery ✅ getting lots of antipodean hop forward notes of gooseberry and tender white grape, some pine needles, sweet malty backbone, a light bitter hoppy finish. Very nice. Great first impression.

Can. Color: Very hazy orange, white head. Aroma: Tropical fruit. Hoppy. Taste: Sweet, smooth and quite dense malty base. Hoppy notes of sweetish tropical fruit (mango, overripe pineapple, passion fruit). Bittery finish. Medium body, average carbonation. Over moderate sweet, light to moderate bitterness. Ok.
