Can is date stamped on bottom: PKG 032223. Smells and tastes like it. Old hoppy beer. A pity, because I really like their other hoppy brews when they're fresh.

Golden colour with thin lacy head. Lots of toasted biscuity malts. Very rounded hop profile. A little resinous. Just the right level of bitterness.
