Pint at Backcountry. Pours a clear, straw color, with a big, foamy, whtie head. The aroma is strong lemon and grapefruit, and perfume. Sweet and malty, with a strong bitterness. Medium body, with a brisk, clingy palate. This is a simple and solid IPA.

Bottle shared at Jimmy's farewell. Thanks Sam! Pours a pitch black with a small brown head that dissipates. Bourbon, oak and dark chocolate all over the nose. Decadent on the palate with a great mouthfeel. More chocolate and bourbon on the palate with some light oak and vanilla notes. Smooth, balanced finish. Killer.

Multiple cans courtesy of a friend. Thanks Sam! Pours a crystal clear straw gold with a finger of fluffy white foam that lingers. Straw, mineral and light grain on the nose. Palate is similar with nice mineral notes and a drying finish.

No dating on the 16 ounce can.
It pours a brilliantly clear straw gold with an inch of foam, does okay with the lacing.
Noble hops like nose with some grass, spicy, toasted malt.
Taste is assertive with the Noble hops, medium grass, toasted malt, comes across ass dry overall but has some juicy "moments". Pretty darn impressive.
Wonderful mouthfeel, the hops coat the tongue and carry through the finish.
So so delicious!

Moderat saurer Beginn mit Noten von Kirsche (deutlich) sowie Quitte (schwach). Süffig, trockene milde Herbe, rund, allerdings schnell abflachend. Fein säuerlicher Abgang. 11/10/11/9//10

Bottle shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a hazy earthy peachy red with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has dry red wine with a bit of funk and light bread underlying. Flavor has dank and slightly tart grapes with some funk and a slightly bready backbone.

Can - dark brown, nearly black with a moderate bright white lace - I love Sweet Bloom coffee so stinking much there was no way I wasn’t buying this - texture is super creamy, soft carbonation - flavor is medium dry, with a gentle mineral bite - coffee character is quite present, but not abrasive or overly acidic, as coffee can easily be if not done properly in a beer - some bright fruitiness comes through near the finish, rising above the coffee and chocolatey roasted malt flavors - it’s dang good.
