16oz can. 2024 re-rate. Pretty solid juicy IIPA. Citra and Mosaic are both big and well expressed. Some body to back it up but still pretty sweet, juicy, not much bitterness. Good.

16oz can. Sort of works, even though I find the oily hazelnut extract or whatever it is to be wholly undesirable, the coconut is OK. Oily and sweet, sort of lacks balance. Coconut tone is the only this is has going on that works. Unimpressive stuff.

Very hazy deep copper and amber coloured body with a slight orange glow and a hint of gold as well, with a very large two centimetre tan head that stays afloat up front and fades pretty quickly afterwards. Aroma of strong tea, bitter and strong malts with a lot of yeast and bread here as well with a lot of oranges and curacao with a good deal of sugars as well and a bit of alcohol noticeable on the end. Medium-bodied; Relatively rich malt notes dominate up front with a big herbal and grassy note right away with a noticeable full orange and curacao bite right behind along with a light bitterness from the malts and a lot of honey and sweetness on the end. Aftertaste is quite easy-drinking, especially for the alcohol, with only a dash of tea noticeable, but more from the malt/wheat and a bit of the sugars/honey with a fairly clean finish, despite a lot of bitterness noticeable way up front. Overall, a pretty nice beer that hits the marks nicely, shows off some tea, but a bit more of the yeast, malt and pungency with the honey really coming through and still being easy-drinking, especially on the end, which is quite nice, especially for the alcohol in here. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trig's [grocery] in Wausau, Wisconsin on 07-August-2021 for US$1,87 (part of a mixed six pack) sampled at my house here in Washington on my daughter's TENTH birthday on 16-October-2022 - Happy Birthday Claire after seeing one of my favourite bands in the world - KMFDM.

Mostly clear deep copper and bronze coloured body with a very thick, super frothy off-white and creamy tan head that starts off at eight centimetres tall that fades very slowly. Aroma of biscuits, bread, yeast, alcohol, light grassy hops, some pugent malt, deeper hops and a bit of caster sugar in the nose. Full-bodied; Rich, deeply malty and almost metallic and bitter and pungent notes dominate at first with a lot of grass and dryness right behind with a deep tea-like note and some floral bitterness at the end, with deep sweetness from honey and perhaps resin, but ending mild, malty and fairly bitter from the hops. Aftertaste shows a lot of sweetness, a ton of malt body and some dry, grassy, perfumey aspects that almost taste like stone fruits and melon, but it is probably the tea leaves here. Overall, about what I'd expect from the style, but far removed from what I was thinking after looking at the can's front, but still a nice beer for the style and fairly interesting while not being outlandish. Nice to sample this one super fresh from Wisconsin, but back home! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trig's Grocery in Wausau, Wisconsin on 07-August-2021 for US$1,87!!!, sampled at my house here back in Washington on 30-August-2021.
