Date code is illegible. Purchased from the cooler, drunk 9/30/25.
Moderately hazy, muted bronze-brass. Large, white head steadily to partial cover.
Smells like weed. Not really going to go in to a long analysis of the specific weed character, and I'm not a weed aficionado, but it's dry, spicy, musky, skunky, etc...Malts are present with dough, white bread and light honey and there is actual hop character behind the terps. Light pineapple and mild orange juice. Clean, not boozey.
Soft, malty, spicy, dry and weedy with musk, skunk, pepper and such. Definitely some light blueberry jam. Honey, biscuit, white bread easily balance and the bitterness is low, but fairly ample. Pineapple, lemongrass and dry citrus from hop helps take a bit of the focus off the terpenes, but it's far and away the dominant character.

Pint Can courtesy of Jow. Thanks. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a big foamy white head that has fair retention and ample lacing. The aroma is big and bold with sweetened grapefruit and a few other tropical's that I am unable to to put my finger on. The taste is sweetened citrus with mango, papaya, melons and perhaps some passionfruit. The palate is full and viscous with soft carbonation. Finishes long and semi-sweet with lingering mixed citrus. Overall: well done DIPA, much enjoyed. Paired well with some Fritos corn chips

16 oz can. Aroma is nutty, woody, paint thinner, dried fruit, nearly burnt caramel, vanilla. Pours opaque brown with a half finger beige head that settles into a ring quickly. Taste is light to moderately sweet with nutty, caramel-tinged flavors. Not a typical barleywine at all. The chemical-ish off-note in the nose was slightly off-putting at first, but the flavors were nice enough to get me to overlook it. A good tasting beer overall.

Canned 5/5/25, drunk 7/13/25.
Heavily hazy, muted brass-maize. Large, off-white head, steadily to ring.
For Citra/El Dorado, this smells nicely spicy, rich, juicy and tropical. Not resinous or overly piney and not even all that much intense citrus. Some mineral and funk, with honey and white bread. Clean, no alcohol noted.
Soft, juicy lots of tropical fruit character. Orange juice, pine accents, mango, guava, papaya. Spicy finish with rich, pillowy pils malt. Clean and crisp/bright finish with satisfying attenuation.
