Rerate from 2025 Super Hoppy Holidays pack. 12 oz can. Golden pour with a moderate haze and a white head. Mango/pineapple and orange aroma, pale malt. Bright, ripe tropical and citrus hop flavors (pineapple, orange, mango), pine, floral hops with some pilsener malt underlying them. Clean finish. The strong hop expression combined with the clean finish make for a very nice beer.
Original rating: 12 oz can. Pours yellow with fine particles and a white head. Tropical mango and grapefruit/orange citrus aroma, pale malt. Flavor favors more pine/spicy hops, citrus, still some pale malt. Pretty well done. (8/4/8/4/14/308 RateBeer; 8/8/8/8/7/7.8 Brewver)

Pours hazy copper with a lingering white head with lacing. Smells mainly of citrusy hops. The flavor is moderately bitter with citrus, grain, and bread.

12oz can - sampled at random. Okay double IPA - big hops - a throwback in many ways.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a mostly clear pinkish gold with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Lots of toasted jalapeno aromas on the nose with some green pepper and light raspberry skin as it warms. Palate is similar with raspberry skin and seed next to jalapeno pepper and heat. Light spicy notes on the finish.

2025 can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a mostly clear dark gold with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Big blood orange aromas with citrus zest and some floral aromas on the nose. Palate is similar with blood orange only really standing out. I don't get much wheat wine-like character and the peppercorns don't really come out (outside of some floral notes). Citrusy, malty and boozy on the finish.
