Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is creamy, milder fruityness. Taste is full, has some hopburn, some stonefruit, tad sweet. Bit candy like. Not my style of hops, but has a nice ending twist to it.

Pours dark, redpink, small white head. Smell is passion fruit, bit red fruits ( raspberry ). Juicy. Taste is full, tart, lactic acid, very fruity, intense raspberry, passion fruits are less intense here. Sourness is nice, perfectly balanced. Bit simple perhaps, but the beer as a total works very well. My favorite of the 2 beers they made for the band.

Can: Hazy gold beer, fruity too boot. Not a fucking neipa dipa though eh? SHIT SHOW style changes by people who don’t rate, ffs! Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Fairly light palate, semi dry and finely minerally crisp. Thin malts, a ripe creamy sweetness. Peel dominated citric hops, orange and grapefruit. Grapefruit marmalade. Light semi dry finish. Flavoursome but not that well joined up.

16oz can pours a cola brown, off white head.  Nose has a lot, malt, nuts, cocoa nibs, coffee grounds, Folgers.  Flavor adds some carob and brown sugar.  Finishes dry and a little snappy thanks to the coffee.  Lotta flavor for less than 4%.  8 3 8 4 15
