Can split at L6, thanks to Leighton, 'Farewell New Ken' tasting 18/09/19. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap that dissipates edgeward. Nose is melon, grass, airy malts, orange peel, floral wave, tangerine. Taste comprises bitter citric shreds, pine needle, sweet malts, grass, orange pith. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy hop bitterness. Not bad … clean drinking just stuck a little twixt 3rd and 4th gears.

Can from chalet. It looks like a NE ipa in the glass, cloudy and hazy pale. Looks like a NE IPA so much so it looks better than many NE IPA, heheh. Somewhat perfumy nose, nearly artificial hop nose about it. Big white head. Taste is vegetable green grapefruit pine skunk cabbage, like many IPA but, a little more veggie in this one. I'm not sure what makes this a fall drink, its like any other one in a million session IPA, so common, its sickening. Yes, terribly on bitter style for these happy BS beers. At least it has a little co2 in there to carry it thru to the finish, whew. Just as insulting as a any real IPA or impy IPA, I'm telling you.

Cloudy pinkish-gold color with a medium fizzy bone white head that burns away quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of berry and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly tart blueberry, wheat and malt. The finish is fruity with a short berry aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Slightly hazy golden and pure purple/pink coloured hazy glow with a nice off-white head that fades fairly quickly like soda. Aroma of light blueberries, a touch of wheat, some subdued malts, a good grassy and herbal touch with a hint of alcohol near the end. Light-bodied; Sharp grassy and relatively herbal flavour with some 'dirty' blueberry flavours showing more of an earthy characteristic than anything sweet, but the fruitiness remains and stays strong throughout with some light tart element without much else. Aftertaste is deep and very earthy with the fruit noticeable along with some tartness and a faint glimmer of sweetness and a dash of alcohol and punch towards the end that ends a bit bitter. Overall, an interestng beer that shows more of an earthy or 'dirty' profile from the blueberries rather than sweet or sour, but complex throughout, with a relatively strong flavour that largely shows the right flavours. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-September-2018 for US$1,59 sampled at home in Washington on 12-January-2020 for my daughter's 5th birthday celebration.Β

12 oz Can, drank at my Son-in-Laws in California on 20th Dec 2019. Misty golden body, white topping. Hop centric with a citrus leaning in both the aroma and taste, aided and abetted by some piney, resinous hop action. Nothing too strong or overpowering, but pleasant enough.
