Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep hazy gold with a full finger of soapy white head that lingers. Lots of pithy citrus, tangerine, pineapple and papaya on the nose. A bit of alcohol is noticeable as it warms up. Balanced on the palate with a bit of hop burn on the finish. Not bad.

Canned 1/31/24, drunk 6/9/24. Moderately hazy, bright, sunny, orange-golden-bronze. Small, white head, quickly to edges. Lightly juicy citrus with heavy spice and a bit of pine. Cracker malts and very fruity, estery yeast. Very, very light, though with an almost wheat-like chewiness on the very end that adds back some much-needed depth. Incredibly dry, though, with bitter spice, herbs and grass. Clean, though, and no lingering acid. This really shouldn't be marketed as an NEIPA/hazy. Would be more honest to call this Spring Session or something along those lines. Still, it's quite clean and pleasant, and still assertively hoppy even after four months on a shelf.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, pretty small light brown head, only a centimetre tall above the 90 per cent opaque body (due to the darkness). Aroma of very roasted malts, vanilla, earth, nuts, rustic grains, chocolate and a good deal of alcohol here, too. Medium-bodied; Super bitter and roasty notes show at first along with some pungent oats and roasted coffee coupled with chocolate and some strong sugars, but even those don't seem to cover the strong bitterness and astringency that doesn't show any marshmallows, no graham crackers and only dark chocolate notes. Aftertaste is pungent, rich, bitter, very strong and showing the malts, bitter grain, strong chocolate and caramelised flavours, but the coffee and metallic astringency is still somehow strongest. Overall, not such a great s'more (sweet) stout - this shows as a dry or especially Export/Foreign Stout and even then, it's too bitter and one-dimensional. Sad, as I was expecting more from this brewery, but hopefully I can get more soon! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Beer Baron in Livonia, Michigan on 23-October-2022 for US$3,39 sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-April-2023 a few hours before leaving back to Michigan, in the morning.

Can from Busch's. Pours a clear gold with a full finger of off-white foam. Great lacing down the glass. Grassy aromas with some light lemon zest and orange notes. Good carbonation, more malt than expected for the 3.5% abv. Light malt sweetness mid-palate and finishes with a dry scratchy carobnation note. Enjoyable session IPA that tastes like a beer and not a watery mess at 3.5% abv.
