16 oz. bottle, pours jet black with some floaties and a small brown head. Nose has lots of toasted coconut, lots of nuttiness, and gentle bourbon. Flavour is ridiculously rich, with lots of toasted coconut, toasts nuts, vanilla, and plenty of bourbon. Not sure how old this is, but age has definitely had an effect. Lots of coconut and nuttiness, with some more acidity than you'd expect for the style. The barrels take more of a back seat. It's excellent for sure but in different ways than expected.

This is deadly. It tastes like Sprite.

Very clear, deep copper and bronze coloured body with a zillion small bubbles rising from the bottom, below the three centimetre tall off-white and tan head. Aroma of crisp grass and flowers, grapefruit, citrus fruit and a deep toasted grain note - in the nose, at least. Light to Medium-bodied; Very grassy and floral flavours show at first with a nice and pungent hop bitterness, some balanced and deep malt notes with a slight grainy quality and a touch of curacao and slightly sweet, slightly citrusey notes that balance nicely with the malts. Aftertaste is drying, quite herbal, grassy and perfumey with good hop bitterness and pungency from the alpha acids, with a straight-forward, pretty old-school vibe, closest to a lower ABV West-Coast IPA. Overall, a nice, grassy and citrusey IPA with a lot of hop bitterness and range without any real sweetness and no rich malts - this is straight-forward, dry, bitter and enjoyable - good to sample with a nice name [as my wife is a teacher on the last day of school for my kids - and my wife, too]. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 31-December-2022 for US$3,99 with the tagline 'got it bad...got it bad...' on the bottom of the can, and canned on 22-June-2022 while I sampled this on 15-June-2023 at my house here in Washington.
