Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is lots of tropical fruit juice. Flavor is again a nice hoppy tropical fruit juice with a super chewy mouth feel. Kind of a jumble of tropical fruit hops and not one stood out over the other but this was still a decent hop juice bomb with no alcohol felt.

Pour is a hazy yellow/orange with a small white head. Aroma is a nice orange with some honeysuckle. Flavor is an ok citrus fruit hop but this Is pretty watery as well. This is more of a hoppy pale ale with the low alcohol. Decent but not great. The can said to enjoy freshly then brewer fails to put any kind of dating on the can.

Waxed bomber from Final Gravity in Roseville, CA. Pours very dark brown with an extremely dark tan head. Aroma of moderately dark chocolate with some coffee. Med + body. Flavor is chocolate, treacle, coffee, and ? There’s something I can’t quite place. It’s all incredibly dark, but there’s a flavor from my past I can’t place. Maybe it’s the vanilla/coffee combo? Suggesting a liqueur to some extent. Meanwhile I don’t find the heat bothersome. I do find my ignorance bothersome. Ok, so let’s go with the concept that this is rather awesome but somewhat disturbing. Considering the Brazilian recipe, giving an extra point in honor of José Carioca.

Can from Final Gravity in Roseville, CA. Pours clear gold with a spritzy creamy white head. Aroma is bready with grassy/spicy? hops? Med body. Nice carbonation. Flavor is hoppy then bready. It’s bitter. Flavor does seem grassy/spicy. Maybe a bit too bready, but there’s no arguing that the bitter is very nice.

Can from Final Gravity in Roseville, CA. Pours translucent gold with a finely bubbled white head. Aroma is earthy/fruity. Med body or so. Flavor is near dank. Like hop oils rolling around the tongue. Let’s add some green/herb stuff to the mix of earth and fruit. Let’s say that the hop is so intense it really can’t be parsed. Let’s say the malt support is hard to find. Let’s say there’s actually something reminiscent of an Imperial Pils lurking in the depths. Let’s say this is really frickin’ tasty ale. Find it if you can.

Can from Final Gravity in Roseville, CA. Pours coppery gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus and fruit over mildly, lightly roasty caramel. Med + body. Fairly strong carbonation. Flavor is sort of tea. Strange, but I think thats the impression of the combination of somewhat roasty malt, citrus, earth ... Maybe even Bergamot rather than simply citrus. Now Earl Grey comes to mind. Hard for me to parse, I guess. Very flavorful!

Pour is a hazy yellow with I huge white head. Aroma is citrus hops with orange peel and maybe even a bit of jasmine. Flavor is a very minor citrus hop and pils malt but this did have a odd plastic taste to it as well. I don’t know if this is old, there is no date on the can. Maybe a beer to try again when I know it’s fresh. They might really have something here if it were not for the plastic taste.
