Draft. A- Grassy, citrus. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Grassy, citrus, slightly dank, slightly bitter. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- If you make the claims per the label in regards to the weed, it should live up to expectations. This was not really any more dank than most IPAs with this blend of hops. Drank on 4/20 and it was about as exciting as ditch weed. Decent beer, but don't expect the described flavor.

Draft/Fest. A- Boozy, chocolate. A- Black color, black liquid, no head. T- Booze, chocolate, charred. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, boozy finish. O- A big boozy brew. Good but not super complex and the booze really kinda brings too much heat. Kros Strain usually does great things in this area so this felt a bit rushed and unready for drinking.

Can (2020) pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque black with no sparkle, thin ring of beige head and trace lacing. Aroma is strong red wine over roasted malt and mild chocolate. Taste is strong red wine, roasted malt, much milder chocolate, oak. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, decent balance among flavor and aroma. Very nice.

Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice, thinnish, very fast-dying pure white head that's gone before you know it and showing a slight ghostly gaze with the golden tint. Aroma of light coffee skins, ala cascara coffee tea with a hint of subdued biscuity and cereal malts and a touch of lemons and flowers with a caramel sweetness noticeable near the end, but the coffee and dry notes are stronger than the malts. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong dry herbal and coffee notes show through everything with a bit of the green beans on the edge that make the grassiness more pungent, but there is a slight dose of very lightly roasted brewed coffee as well with a slight citrusey component of central american grown coffee or some light hints of lemons. Aftertaste is fairly well-balanced, but very light and nuanced throughout with some cream and milky, lactosey notes near the end that give some easy-drinking finishes and robust characteristics atop the coffee and ever so mild chocolate notes with the malts and grassiness. Overall, a pretty nice, very restrained, easy-drinking, but full-of-flavour beer with a complete coffee profile but without any pungency or overwhelming nature that you typically get from a coffee-laced beer. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 26-August-2021 for US$3,29 sampled at my house here in Washington on 29-November-2021.

Pretty good effort at a traditional Bavarian hefe weizen. The aromas and flavors are right there plus a hint of some lemon. A little more head retention would be a big plus. But in any case, I'm liking it.
