Bomber on 28th Dec 2019, my son had a small amount, I the Lion's Share! Drank at my daughters house in OC, California; Trader Joe's being the outlet I bought it from. Deep and dark brown, almost black bodied, tanned topping. Malty nose with a vanilla and chocolate twist, sweetness arrives as you sip the milky, smooth brew, sweetness grows as the beer warms, the vanilla and chocolate flavours come out and dominate the taste. Nice!

355ml can on Christmas Eve 2019. Hey, it's a hazy IPA, who would have thought that with it's name? Anyway, it's orange, light amber in colour, the head white and lasting. Oranges with other fruity notes in the aroma and taste, some semi-sweet pineapple and semi-bitter grapefruit action within the flavours.

355ml can from Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours unclear misty gold, thick rocky white head. Aroma is pleasantly fruity, sweet malt, some orange shades. Taste continues along similar lines with an appealing fruity character, malty sweet with nice citric shades, some distant dank stonefruit nods. Nicely presented fruity IPA. Good introduction to this brewery.

355ml can from Trader Joe's, drank in California on 11th Dec 2019. Light haze to the golden body, smooth white head. Grainy nose and taste, OK, but nothing special, could have been any lager from anywhere in the world.

Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a very thin, pure white head, barely a sliver on top. Aroma of floral, grassy and especially citrusey hops with a good bitter quality and a light dose of malts with very little else, but the hops really stand out. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent grassy and very citrusey flavours dominate with a great bitterness and hop pungency, especially towards the end with a touch of herbal and more floral notes, but a very low malt profile and somehow even lower alcohol presence makes this feel super subtle. Aftertaste shows the hop bitterness and grassy flavours up front and centre with a lot of citrus and subdued notes without much alcohol or pungency - this is a very easy-drinking and super light-bodied beer with a good [still] pungent hop profile that has a lot of bitterness throughout. Overall, a good and enjoyable Light IPA, perhaps one of the best tha tI've had! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$2,84 sampled at home in Washington on 27-November-2019.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 11/27/19. I hate cats. I'm also meh about peanut butter, which I know makes me un-American. I'll still go into this open minded on the assumption that it does not contain actual cats. But even if it did, they got what they deserve. All of them (with maybe five or six exceptions). Sorrynotsorry. Dark brown, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of sweet chocolate and peanut butter. Hints of salt. Taste is roast, chocolate, peanut butter, soy. Medium bodied, sweet, not terribly off balance but a bit too sweet. Some saltiness in there too. A bit artificial but not too bad. Some maple really comes out as it sits on the tongue. Weird, not bad, not great.

Dry, somewhat fruity NEIPA, with a grainy center surrounded by subdued grapefruit, stone fruit, pineapple, and berry notes, leading to a modest bit of pine in the finish and an undercurrent of citrus zest throughout the fade. Not bad, just a bit plain for the style, lacking the juicy punch you'd expect.
