Deep, perfectly clear amber and copper coloured body with a bronze glow, all with a fairly thin, single centimetre all tan head. Aroma of alcohol, bitter hops, grapefruit, hay, grass, flowers and a good deal of pungent metal and astringent grain. Medium-bodied; Very rich, floral and slightly fruity hop characteristics show at first, with a big bitterness and relative pungent astringency, all from the hops, but the deep mangoes and especially the grapefruit fruity flavours rise through the rest of the profile, with a light sweetness, mainly from the resin towards the end, and some alcohol noticeable, of course, as well. Aftertaste shows the deep grapefruit, pine, dry malt and a lot of bitterness throughout with a strong punch from alcohol with a grainy profile and some light sweetness - relatively balanced though. Overall, a fairly nice, deep bitter and pungent beer throughout, with a lot of grain, a good fruitiness that adds to the flavour, but interestingly - not the sweetness and at least 8,5 per cent alcohol showing through. Nice, but not perfect, of course. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 02-November-2020 for US$4,99 that made it to the store on 30-September-2020, sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-November-2020.

Ever so slightly hazy copper and deep amber coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of nuts, earth, malt, grain, specialty grains, toffee and a bunch of deeply caramelised sugars. Medium-bodied; Very strong malt and pungent grainy flavour at first with a ton of earthiness, nut flavours and a dry hit of toffee and candy notes, with a lot of pungency in terms of the yeast and some breadiness shows towards the finish. Aftertaste is dry, very flavourful and quite pungent throughout with a good deal of caramelised sugars, toffee, earth and nuttiness with a smooth complexity from the grain, malt and especially nuts that dominate here. Overall, a pungent and deeply malty beer with a bunch of grainy flavours, some dry malts, a good deal of lager yeasts that show through pretty much everything, but a large caramelised sugar sweetness that is more powerful than all the other flavours. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 19-May-2020 for US$1,19 sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-October-2020, during the [sad 2020] season of Oktoberfest.

Pencil shavings, dandelion, rye nose. Hazy amber, huge head, nice lace. Dandelion, bread dough, green rye, lemongrass. Medium body, easy carbonation. Pretty much a tasty low ABV IPA, more bitter and full bodied than the standard session IPA interpretation. I'm down with that.
