Can. Poured a dark brown with a medium sized light tan head. Light roast is still there, but the aroma and flavors are dominated by peppermint. Light sweetness, but doesn't taste like diabetes juice. Slight sweetness, caramel and a little coffee. This had a lower abv than I expected it to have.

Deep dark ruby and light brown coloured body with a relatively thick two centimetre tall light brown head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of toasted malt, grain, light earth, nuts and a lot of caramelised sugars. Light-bodied; Strong malty and soured/tart grape notes dominate with a little vinegar funk and cherry sweetness on the end, but only a touch of the malts and hardly any complexity, body or flavours - this is almost more of a cider or kombucha than anything close to a toasted malt beer. Aftertaste shows the soured and fruity flavours with a handful of light malt notes and nothing in terms of alcohol or pungency, just a soft, thin fruit and soured flavour that is quite simple. Overall, an odd and funky beer that tastes nothing like an Amber Ale that I was expecting and instead like a malted cider or something. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 04-May-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-May-2020.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a very large, three to four centimetre tall tan and off-white head that has large bubbles, but stays afloat nicely. Aroma of grass, hay, light herbs, a touch of grapes and a very small amount of citrus. Medium-bodied; Relatively rich and syrupy sweetness up front from mangoes, honey, resin and a little grassiness soon behind, but relatively simplistic in terms of the hops and overall character of this one, that does show some alcohol bite and astringency towards the end. Aftertaste is crisp, relatively strong in terms of sugars and malts, with only a tiny bit of the hops showing through, and those are focused on the dry and grassy side, although some light floral notes are around as well. Overall, good enough, but this is far from a 'double IPA' - this if anything is a plain [East Coast] IPA with more sugars and less bitterness than usual. Not worth grabbing, especially considering all the options in either of the styles [real or labelled], but at least it's not a bad beer! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 22-May-2020 for US$2,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-May-2020.
