Can old stack from this past winter date code 12/2022. Smell is a little like a freshly cut pine tree. First swig from can is a big bitter hop blast, typical initial IPA flavors. Once in the glass I do see it is the eye of a standard hazy pale brew. Has a thin creamy pond scum head. Second gulp is another big bitter blast with just maybe just a hint of tartness? I'm looking for it, but now it's hard to find. Oh well, was hoping for something to distract me. Feel is a bit sultry, barely any co2 and lots of real IPA rudeness in this. It could care less how civil it is. Towards the finish it ends with a little less bud rototiller than I'm used to with an IPA. Yea, just another regular old IPA, what else can be said?

From a $2 bottle. Pour is really dark brown with a decent creamy tan head the fades to thin. Very good olfactory impression of roasty malt stout. First taste is that of partially burned old damp campfire wood. A little smoother than the near 6% would indicate; it's really rather quite civilized and mannered but yet still lets you know it's a good solid stout. Nice burned toast finish. Yea baby, its creamy. Some sediment as you bottom the bottle. Good overall beer tasting experience.

From a cheap bottle off the mixed six rack. Pour is pale haze on a slight pinkish orange tint. Nose is mild fruit on typical lager beer, no real hint of raspberry olfactory. Taste is raspberry fruit, somewhat dull, hidden behind a typical brew. Can't really feel the hefe in this, tho it's got lots of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Yea well, it does go down pretty easy and I can't find any nasty wheat ale bitter attributes or character in it. In the end it just comes across as a slightly better than average fruit beer. Finishes with a friendly mild fruit dead end. Could use a little more co2 and perhaps a tad more tartness, along with an increased hefe backbone.

Clear pale from a can, has a big fluffy white head. Initial taste is friendly lager. Not much bitterness for a zwik. Yea, most of the kellers I've had are more uncivilized than this. This one is friendly and rather easy with a tad of warmth in there. Nose is hay like and cut grass. Easy to drink and rather fun with its bubbly attitude on the co2. Not bad! Quaffable. Probably one of the better landbiers I've tasted.

Pour is more of a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is not much. Some honeydew with honey malt. Flavor is again not much to anything at all. Some alcohol is noticeable as well. This was a poor effort.
