A 16 oz can I found at Mr. T's that I have now opened and pour inside of an old style beer glass with a handle. Hazy orange-gold liquid completed by a steady, rocky smooth head of snow white foam. An inviting smell in and for the style, tangerine, honey and a touch of pine. The taste, not quite as impressive. Juice, turpentine, grapefruit, resin and white bread. More bitter than sweet, a curious thing. Nice intro, thought there would be more in the follow through.

Can from Systembolaget. Amazing west coast dank smell. Caramel gold. Hoppy thrust and finishes like a creamy red wine. Chocolately ending like a stout almost. Bit odd when you focus on in some ways but amazing west coaster otherwise.

Pours a dark gold/light amber with small white top. Pineapple chunks, pine, citrus on the nose. Taste of citrus, grapefruit, pine, light dankness, bread - somewhat old skool but a touch more fruity and I like the bitterness combining with some hop spice. Medium bodied, slick, fine carbonation
