355ml can from a local Trader Joe's, drank on 20th April 2026 at my daughters in Laguna Hills. clean and clear bright amber body, off white crown. Malty front with a pleasant hop bitterness that creeps in as you get into the beer, not bad for the price, but not a classic in any sense. I don't think any citrus fruits were harmed brewing this, which is nice!

355ml can from a local Trader Joe's (to my daughters place), drank in Laguna Hills on 20th April 2026. Only a light haze to my dull golden pour, off white crust on top. Malty front with a hop bitterness that doesn't quite 'cut the mustard' for me. OK, but it came across as a cheap supermarket beer, which sadly it actually is!

355ml can from Trader Joe's, poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass on 19th April 2026 in Laguna Hills. Clean and clear amber body, off white crown on top. Resinous hop nose and taste, decent hop bitterness without the usual citrus overtones you get these days from most IPA's brewed in the US. Liked it, even if it's a supermarket beer!

Amber with large light tan head. Caramel malt, grapefruit peel and weedy grass aroma. Moderately sweet orange, caramel malt, and moderately bitter vegetal grapefruit peel flavor. Okay body.

Too-sweet citrus notes wading in a sea of diacetyl. Very bad. Go for the Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups instead.

CBJ tasting, bottle thanks to LKS. Near clear dark amber brown beer,. small and short lived bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, smooth, modest fine carbonation. Airy cardboard malts, a little ripe fruits. Very tired.
