Very clear, relatively light golden coloured body with a beautiful orange and almost ruby/pink coloured tint, all with a thick three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of grass, light pine, soft floral and perfumey elements and a dash of subdued malts with very little hops - hardly any alpha acids in the nose. Light-bodied; Fresh very light hoppy bitterness at first with a soft biscuity and herbal bite that has a tiny bit of alpha acids and finishes with some light candy sweetness and a grapefruit bitterness, without much malt (this time) for balance. Aftertaste is deep, quite floral and showing the grapefruit peel and light perfumey hops, but not much malt balance or alcohol bite. A relatively crisp, almost on the level of an APA, beer. Overall, slightly better than I was expecting, as a celebrity endorsed this, and while not great, not a bad beer! Nice to try at least, assuming you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 12-June-2020 for US$3,86 sampled at my house here in Washington on 07-July-2020.

Delightful, crisp, easy-drinking IPA, nice bites of grapefruit zest and lemon drops and papaya, backed up by notes of grain, pine, and earth, with a citrus zest finish and a modest minerality on the fade. Insanely drinkable. Rare to label a near-8% beer refreshing, but this beer earns it. Very good.

2018 bottle. Pours black, with a small, brown head. The nose is chicory, cocoa nibs, currant, leather, and almond. Not too sweet, with a bit of boozy barrel notes. Heavy body, with a grainy, chalky palate. This is a mellow, complex, and nicely balanced stout.

Not sure when Stone Cold transitioned from trying to drown WWE rivals with Coors Light to brewing up batches of surprisingly respectable IPAs, but good for him. Broken Skull is accessible without being dumbed-down, offering up crowd-friendly notes of grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, and earth, followed by a lengthy pine-mineral bitterness and a citrus fade. Tasty.

12 ounce stubbie bottle. Slightly hazed brassy gold pour. Large rocky beige head. Fragrant toasted malt aroma hints at citrus. Flavor is toasted malt and dank citrus. Some resiny notes in finish. Excellent malt / hop balance. Outstanding example of a West Coast IPA.
