7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Very hazy straw golden coloured body with a soapy, very fast-dying off-white head and a bunch of bubbles rising from the bottom, just visible through the 90 per cent opacity. Aroma of mangoes (actual fruits), guava and cream, with some noticeable malt and alcohol as well, with some deep bitterness from alpha acids as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Extremely astringent and medicinal flavours show at first, seemingly from the hops, but also showing some rich malt bite with biscuits and bread towards the end. Aftertaste brings out some of the fruit notes with a slight mango and pineapple flavour, but then the more pungent flavours arrive and are deep, with alcohol noticeable at the end, with some residual sugars helping offset the strength, especially at the end. Overall, not the best IPA of course, and while the pungency and strength is there, especially at first, the balance and tropically notes are present, as are some smooth sugars that suppresses the bite. Not as bad as I first expected, after I kept drinking (this is BIG!), perhaps the best from the three (of the brewery in this format) that I've had, which isn't saying too much? I sampled this 19,2 ounce TALL can, purchased from Liberty Liqours in LaVale, Maryland on 29-May-2023 for US$2,99 canned on 20-March-2023 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-July-2023.

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Super hazy bright golden and straw coloured body with a pretty large, two to three centimetre tall, but large bubbled and fast-fading off-white head, above the 90 per cent opaque body. Aroma of oranges, grass, citrusey hops, some light oats and wheat and only a touch of flowers and alcohol! Medium-bodied; Pretty astringent and medicinal flavours from the malt and especially alcohol show through everything with a light dryness, some light oranges and a dash of floral notes on the end, but no sweetness here at all and only a touch of malts. Aftertaste is pretty dry with a light grassiness here, but soft citrus flavours, a mellow cardboardie malt/stale note and some light hop bitterness, but more noticeable alcohol warmth and astringency really shows here without too much pleasant on the end. Overall, pretty poor here throughout, but a least there is bitterness here, although not in the places you really want it - no real fruits, absolutely no sugars, the malt aren't great and there is no complexity here, but the alcohol and astringency IS noticeable. Passable for sure, especially with so many options for the style. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Gettysburg Beer Mart in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on 31-January-2023 for US$5,19 sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-February-2023.

A bit sweet, but it’s god damn delicious. Perfect nightcap. Sixth Orbit on The Ghost’s 5th Orbit. Ranger Suarez is on a heater.

Like drinking a screwdriver with some cantaloupe added.
