Mine said 12% (2025 edition, presumably). Dark brown, not much head, lots of bourbon, balanced brown sugar, alcohol, I’ll say a fairly simple construction, but well-made.

Bright, deep gold, med head and nice lacing. Medium bitterness, pine and light citrus. Solid old school IPA.

Pale, just slight haze, thick head, some wittish character, low bitterness, billed as amaro-inspired but doesn’t have herbs, bitterness, no amaro nothing. Ok wit.

Pale, bright. Medium head. Smokey, light, mild acidity, that oak-smoked malt is always so dominant. It's a good grod but I know this style has other levels.

Bright, reddish colour. Sweetish malt, low bitterness for style, and not as much malt complexity as the best examples.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: bronzed copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: sweet danky garlic-y hops with a light piney character then a clean malt base
Flavor: danky sweet with the piney-ness trying to balance; clean garlic-y hoppy aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, mild finish of garlic-y dry hoppiness
Overall: I dig this West Coast styled IPA and would welcome again.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: golden yellow semi-transparent color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head, dissipated nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: big citrusy and piney hop aromas underscored by light danky hops and an even lighter bready malt
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together brightly and semi-bittersweet; clean but low key aftertaste of citrus and dankiness
Texture: medium bodied, slight sessionability, brisk brush of semi-aggressive hoppiness; mild finish of dry citrus and pine
Overall: pretty nicely done WC styled IPA worthy of coming back to.
