19.2 ounce can with a clear stamped canning date of June 1, 2016.
A slightly hazy, honey coloured brew, there’s quite a good head of foam sitting atop; could be that I’m serving it at near room temp. The foam subsides ever so slowly, leaving an abundance of lacing behind.
I do smell some of that fruity apricot and it imparts the mildest hints of tartness. But, this is a Pale Ale after all and that’s what’s most prevalent in the smell. It has a kind of dry hopped/ piney aroma that also suggests grapefruit.. Eureka hops are listed as an ingredient.
First word that I would use to describe the taste is dank. A fun word, eh? I did a bit of reasearch about Eureka hops and they already are supposed to impart aromas and flavours of apricots and tangerines. Adding apricots to this Pale Ale thus seems redundant but what the hey. It works.
Piney, apricot flavour imparting no tartness, just adding a fruity aspect that you’ll find more common in IPAs than APAs, I reckon that this is somewhat of a bold step to take but a step in the right direction.
Smooth as silk mouthfeel and has heaps of drinkability. More than well worth the +$8 that I paid for the can. Check it out.

19.2 ounce can canned February 3rd 2016.
1" head of tannish foam sitting on a very dark brown liquid. Head retention is okay.
I smell chocolate, banana, cloves. .smells authentic for the style.
Taste matches the smell and I call that pretty impressive. Super tasty, very smooth, minimal presence of the alcohol. A treat this beer is.
