12oz can. Not really a true hazy, just doesn't capture it there. More of a juicy IPA, but still has some bitterness as well. Not bad, but rather mediocre, certainly wouldn't eagerly revisit.

Super hazy orange coloured body with a bright amber and peach glow with a thick, two to three centimetre tall head on top of the murky body that almost looks like orange juice! Aroma of very strong citrus fruits, grass, alcohol, hay, flowers and a good deal of malts, but nothing too strong or pungent - fairly subdued, considering the punch here. Medium to almost Full-bodied; Aggressive dry and peppery hops show at first with some hay and floral notes, but no real citrusey notes or any sweetness at all - sort of surprising with a moderate amount of malts and some alcohol noticeable, but nowhere close to ten per cent. Aftertaste is relatively clean, with some astringent metal and maltiness, with a lot of dryness from the hops, but more pepper than anything else, and the alcohol shows around eight per cent, not 10 and no sweetness here at all! Overall, fairly decent, very dry and showing a lot of peppery and grassy notes, but nothing New England about this, aside from it being unfiltered; Great to have fresh and a very cool front to the can, but others are better, of course. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's in Virginia Beach (VA Beach Boulevard), Virginia on 13-June-2021 for US$1,99, canned on 18-May-2021, sampled at my house here in Washington on 05-July-2021.

(Can) Hazy pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of grapefruit (grape tonic), mango, pineapple and honey. Fruity taste with grapefruit, some mango, pineapple, pine needles, honey, toffee and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing, but doesn't really lift above the grapefruit. Quite enjoyable.

I've got a tall boy can of Seeking Alpha obtained from Halftime that the label says is 10% abv and also informs that canning was on 11/8/21. I have a New Belgium globe glass in place to catch the pour. The liquid is an appealing, dark gold-orange with a small head of off-white foam. I smell hops, stewed yellow fruit and meadow. The taste goes in a direction I appreciate, more of a beer/cocktail combination than a hop bomb, although I like both. White bread, fermented nectarines, malt, hops, cane syrup, melon and apricots. Potent tasting but less of a punch than the previous version, obviously. Glad to have it.

(Bottle) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Fruity, sourish nose with lemon, unripe fruit (peaches, pineapple), oak wood and some barnyard. Fruity, tart taste with notes of lemon, grapefruit, peaches, pineapple, oak wood, barnyard, brett, hay and a tart and dry finish. Medium body, dry. Crisp and clean tartness, really tasty and refreshing. Very nice.

Can picked up from Beer Republic Nr Breda Netherlands and consumed at home Wednesday 23rd March 2022, listening to Steve Lamaq on 6Music who is inducting Bon Iver - Emma, Forever and heating up Homemade Fish Pie. Pours hazy yellowy colour with a white head. There is a citrussy forward beer, a little pithyness, dryness, good.

Super deep dark brown coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall rich brown head that fades about on average and leaves a thinnish lace on top, about a centimetre after a few minutes of a lighter brown head - pretty nice. Aroma of rich roasted malts, oatmeal, earth, molasses, brown sugars and a dash of coffee - fairly mild on that front with a bit more chocolate and earthiness, too. Full-bodied; Rich roasted malts, oatmeal, grain, molasses, toffee, caramel and some lighter pitted fruits come through with some vanilla, chocolate and some ground coffee notes are here at the end, but fairly muted considering the others in the style. Aftertaste shows some vanilla and grain, pitted fruits and a good deal of nuttiness along with additional sugars in the way of molasses and caramel, but pretty subdued, sweet, but not bitter or pungent at the end. Overall, a pretty nice Imperial Stout with a good balance and a fairly sweet, but not cloying beer with a ton of chocolate and caramel notes but not much of the coffee, actually. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, given to me by a teammate on my hockey team - Thanks Erik - on 13-January-2021, sampled just over a year later at my house here in Washington on 28-January-2022 on what might be the last 'snow' of the year, canned on 14-February-2020 with the tagline 'Too Many Pots'.
