Best ever.
Super smooth. Like butter.
I have no job, spurs tied against a team that is bottom of the league, the patriots just won, and I AM RUNNING OUT OF BEER. Kill me.

Very hazy golden and straw coloured body with a large, six to seven centimetre tall off-white head with some large bubbles that fade slowly, but still caps the beer after a few minutes. Aroma of grass, hay, hop pellets, some bread, a little perfume and a kick of yeast - strong, but no real sense of heat - in the nose, at least. Medium-bodied; Crisp biscuity and grassy hop flavours show at first with a pretty noticeable yeast and bready malt quality, with a little sweetness here and a soft chile heat at the end. Aftertaste is deep, but really stronger on a hop pellet and bitter front than from malts or complexity - this is pretty simple and straight-forward, and yes, showing heat, bitterness and depth, just flavours that were expected. Overall, a decent enough IPA with a nice Belgian (read yeast & dryness) quality and a dash of heat, but nothing more there and pretty simplistic throughout. Nice to try, but not needed, unless you love heat or Belgian IPAs. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Ye Olde Spirit Shoppe in Frederick, Maryland on 02-February-2023 for US$2,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on 22-February-2023.

12oz can from Total Wine. Clear, dark amber pour, foamy head then flat. Malty, bready aroma. Taste is sweet malt up front, then turns a bit leathery, and fades out from there.

Tons of espresso. Kind of drowns out the beer here. Black pour without much head. Coffee bitter finish. Some roast. Tap at Oscar's West.
