Rare $2 can from vintage. Yes, darker than pale. Alabaster head. Taste is ale-ish of course, with its less than civil behavior. Stronger, medicinal, shows alky up front with a amber ale volatile bluntness. Bitterness begins to build on the back of my tongue. Nice label BTW. Near cloying bitter maltiness in yer face mah fah, hehehehehh. Glad I had a one niter chance to tick this one.

This beer is a clear pale golden color with a medium thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of fruit, grassy hop and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mild hops, fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

My orange yellow can says nothing about lager on it, and, it tastes like a wheat ale. Forget about the honey, can't find it. It smells a little metallic, too. Yea, if this is lager, maybe premium? I guess I'm gittin a little vienna cloying sweetness back in there hiding someplace. A little bit of a scum on top in the end. If yer thinking wheat, like hefe, er sumthin, forgetabboutit. Wheat ale? Maybe.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/15/2019. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy medium golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, honey, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance; and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 9.3%. Overall this is an awesome DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the big ABV, with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Fantastic Idaho 7 profile. Super juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with a great balanced bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. Not overly sweet/heavy for the ABV. A really enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example.

Pop can and initial direct can slug is a smoother industrial style lager; but is it? No, now I think I detect some ale in there. Goes down pretty easy when yer thirsty. Refreshing. The eye of this stuff is mild hazy on lemonade. Nose is a shade of vinegar? Can't be! Lighter taste, almost a fruit hint but then it disappears; yes, it keeps its civility about itself. Perhaps some grass or hay in there too. Unlike the nose, there is just a tad of tartness here, if you look for it. On par with many golden blonde chicks; oops, I mean ales. Politically incorrect. Decent co2 to the finish.

OK, a $2 can from vintage, boardman. Surprised I haven't done this bullshit impy stout yet. I don't collude with the Russians, freaken azzhole; such an idiot; Moller, that is. Get with it you AH - far left liberals! Go F yerselves. Well anyway, as expected its a big black brown beer with an aroma of sweet volatile impy stout roasty darkness. Giant strong over the top beer black sweet experience; with a beauty of a head. Yes, big beautiful tan head. Large and in charge; almost a fiver! Taste; can't help but think of a whisky laced dark baking cocoa. What else can't be said? Its a semi-sweet kick in the rototiller ass. Terribly on mouth coating viscous dark beer dizzying style, whew. No bacteria is gonna grow in this one. This Russian stout style is obvious evidence the United States colludes with the rooskies, not just the trumpster train. Go fly a kite and hug a roosk at the same time, its OK; we're a one world community you jerks. Let trumpy talk to the Pwewten,
