16 oz. can, pours black with a small brown head. Nose brings out huge roasted malt, cheap bourbon barrels, soy sauce and a touch of balsamic -- uh oh. Flavour is a little better, with soy sauce, some low-quality woody bourbon, and caramel. Lacking integration, too much soy sauce, and seems like poor-quality bourbon. Far from disastrous, but there's little to appreciate here.

16oz can pours out a hazy apricot color topped with a white head. Nose is citrus hops some chalk and a little sweetness. Taste is more of the nice light sweetness and citrus hops.

16 ounce can. Very cool Megadeth album cover design. Pours a pitch black color with a small white head. Sweet, not roasty or dry, licorice, anise, dark caramel. Pretty good.

16 oz can poured. Picked up at Hop and Hound. A jet black cola pour, tan foam head that fades. Plenty of chocolate and caramel up front in the aroma and flavor. Sweet milk chocolate, precise. Soft coffee, mocha. Softer bitter after taste. Burnt toast like malts. Flavorful. A bit of a robust feel for a "plain" stout. Pleasant, easy drinking stout without sacrificing flavor. I like it.

16 oz can poured. Good to see their beers popping up in bottles and cans. The hazy IPA game seems to have lifted the can game as well. Awesome! A hazy, juicy golden orange pour. Juicy, peachy, tropical fruit heavy profile I've learned well from the galaxy hops. Flavor is a slightly sweet orange fruit, tropical. Peach. Grains that don't quite match up to the light sweetness of the juicy fruit. Creamy. Pleasant flavor front start to finish. Tasty.

Very light with some yeast and earthy spice notes. Thin bodied. Crisp. Refreshing and easy going. Not bad.
Unfortunately a filtered wheat ale but not bad, good honey and malt notes.

Bottle from Total Wine, Lynnwood, WA; 8% ABV
Amber color, hazy. Biscuity aroma, mild orangey hops. Sweet but not thick or syrupy, caramel based, a bit bready and grainy, with resiny hops, but not much brightness.
Not the IIPA you look for in 2017, but it’s a good beer.
