500 ml bottle from ABV. Gushes out, be very careful, open over the sink. A dark murky brown red hue with a tiny head. A big malty bourbon nose. Rich, toffee, some English BW elements here, sweet big bourbon. Rich cake, light strawberries. Good. Big.

Matchless Crack A Fruit Hazy Pale Ale 4.4% Hazy weather so drink a hazy beer??? Why not. Very pale hazy milky honey gold color with a fizzy head of off-white foam that leaves goons of soapy lacing behind. The aroma is suitably juicy for a NEIPA but the taste is more bitter than I expected with woodsy pine elements I don’t think fit the style. It’s ok though the body is a bit thin for haze. Got via a trade.

Can from Elizabeth Station, Bellingham, WA
Hazy blond colour. Sweetish West Coast IPA, the hop character is mostly orange peel, rather than piney resins.
Good.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/16/2019. Pours moderately hazy deep golden/orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/zest, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, watermelon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.7%. Overall this is an excellent hazy American pale ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Great soft feel and not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great Wakatu, Hallertau Blanc, and Fresh Citra profile. Very vibrant, juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great Vienna/Wheat malt backbone for the ABV. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive session style example. No complaints.

Slight haze, with a very light amber colour. It's a bit oxidized sort of cheesy hop note on the nose. Has a mix of orangey and weedy hops. Soft and sweet, but could be better on the brightness front.

16 oz. can, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with resinous hops upfront, with some pine, and caramel malt. Flavour is on the sweeter side, with lots of resinous hops, sweet oranges, light pine, and sweet caramel malt. A little too sweet for me, but it's still obviously a well-done IIPA. Good stuff.

16 ounce can. Pours a mostly clear, light hazy orange hue with a large white head. A light pils malt grainy nose. Toast, light lemons, soft palate, smooth, I really get big pilsner here. Orange hoppy flavors. Solid.

Can. Pours hazy orange. Orange, tangerine, vanilla, sweet, creamy, boozy. Decent body. Not complex, but not bad either.
