7.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark burnt yellow to orange haziness with a finger's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney sweet to grapefruity and a lil' bit of sweet onion rolling into one character and having a very light dose of malts in the backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a bitter to semi-bittersweet sort of quality; finishes somewhat piney and oniony
Texture: light to medium bodied; semi-sessionable; light smoothness; good carb level; medium hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: seems like a cross between a West coast IPA and a NEIPA, it's one I could return to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy with some pineapple-y hoppy tones and a couple whiffs of sweet pine
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a bitter to semi-bittersweet quality; finishes slightly pineapple-y, kinda grapefruity and semi-juicy
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness with a good low carb; medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty good session IPA I could return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: nice looking murky orange/yellow chill haze color with a subtle tint of clarity to it with a finger and a quarter's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some sly messy lace
Aroma: orange juicy to tangerine-like and grapefruity with subtle piney needle-ish scent; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality with a lean underlying bitter rind to piney middle; finishes piney and orangey with a sweet dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; slightly sessionable; slight smoothness along the tongue; carb seemed a wee bit higher than expected but still somewhat between medium to low? Yeah, I think so.
Overall: pretty good NEIPA possibly could be construed as an AIPA depending on who you talk to.

16oz can from my brother. Dark brown, opaque pour, lasting off-white head. Light roasty aroma with notes of chocolate. Taste is roasty, chocolate, coffee-ish, sweet, cola and a smidge of bitterness.

Hazy yellow color and small white head. Straw, some citrusy fruityness. Medium-bodied. Citrus, gooseberry, pale malts in the flavour. Simple but good. Canned 01/2026.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a large creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate and charred malt. Med body. Creamy mouthfeel. It's malty but that's balanced by bitterness. Strong burnt malt and a good dose of chocolate for flavor. Nice Schwarz.
