This stuff pours slightly hazy with a head that fades rather quickly. Can date is June 2025. No wonder why the nose is old IPA stale hops. Taste is rather nasty as with any IPA with its common bitterness but is also as a strange old world aged IPA flavor of stale hops, a strong tea bitterness character and a cheesy aged wet fresh cut grassy rotting funk. Reminds me quite a bit of the everflow everclean microbial cleaner and degreaser. You can throw in the everflow everclean handsoap and everclean dishwashing liquid as well. Well, I guess you can tell I don't care for this style and when its aged, its not any better. But I may say if you get a fresh can of this and like IPA, you may want to try it. I'm such a ticking whore and I'm surprised total wine had this at more than $3 for a can. Rude. Come on TW&M, get the shit eating old IPAs off yer shelf if yer gonna sell then at full retail price.

Draft pour at the poolside of the Eau Resort & Spa. Poured a clear golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was a nice resiny pine, with light floral notes. Citrus, bitter pine, crisp and enjoyable.

Can, flashing scintillating gleaming pale clear yellow. Clement forgiving mild honey nose. Co2 is effervescent mousseux pétillant & frizzante. Comes across like a softer gentler tender wheat ale and an inkling clue suggestion of honey, just perhaps. In the middle its generally enlivening stimulating and to an extent, energizing. Not bad nor over the top and finishes with the chattels and friendly appurtenances of flowery honey. There, you have it.

Pretty nice, caramel and sweet melanoidins, clean and balanced vienna. Nice amber color and khaki head. I didn't really record much about this one unfortunately as I was drinking and cooking.

A much maligned style in the early days of the craft beer movement, many just didn't want the caramel/crystal malt paired with a robust hop profile of IPA. I always liked it. This one is just like that, and is good so far as it goes. Though I'm sorry to say I can smell a touch of diacetyle on the nose. Otherwise resiny hop aroma and flavor. Fairly balanced to semi-dry, I'd almost want more malt profile to come through on a red IPA, with a carbonic bite, mildly aggressive grassy and resinous hop flavors. Medium bitterness. Finish leans dry with a lingering citrus hop bitterness. Can from a Fresh Market in Winter Springs FL

Can total wine. Off pale mild haze brownish, maybe a hair of maroon, in there. Smells like fresh immature green pine cones. First taste is one big bad ass blast of 30mm IPA, right into your pie whole. Whew. Terribly bitter, bordering on astringent sharp phenollicness. Super strong arrogant bitchy bastard, whew. This warthog is a fairchild republic thunderbolt single-can, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic palate IPA attack, providing macro lager beer cover across my taste buds, attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces on the way. Whew. A terribly on style IPA. If you like IPA, better get a sample of this tactical close air support IPA. There, you have it, lucky my tongue survived the bud killing onslaught of the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary autocannon. Whew, did I already say that! OK then, wow.

Rust and a little caramel. Some pine. Pretty good for style--bitter with decent body, if not a ton of flavour. Pours dark copper with decent head. Bitter end. Can.
