16oz can looks like pulp. Starts as DIPA and ends with candied ginger. Ginger really overwhelms the palate. 8 6.5 6.5 6 6

Weird 375ml bottle. Still caramel brown. Port. Super oxidized. Umami but stale too. Spicy and hot. Booze bomb. This bottle is gone. 6 5 5.5 5 5

From Beer Drop, canned July 22nd 2025.
It pours black with a very small head of foam that shrinks to nothing but a ring around the glass. Lacing not worth mentioning.
Smell is cocoa, vanilla, peppers of the heaty kind. Some spice notes that aren't of the hot kind.
Taste is cocoa, vanilla, roasted malt, and big notes of heat from the Habanero. Little bit nutty, some cinnamon, but they bow down to the heat.
Good enough medium bodied with carbonation on the gentler side, I probably wouldn't drink this again.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow pour, creamy long-lived head. Citrusy, fruity aroma, tropical notes. Taste brings the juice, oranges, pineapple, grapefruit, mango. Creamy and oh so delicious! A real treat.

16 ounce can. Aroma is huge, natural strawberry with a hint of lime. The flavor is natural strawberry throughout the sip with subtle lime, mild rum flavoring in the finish. Texture is thick yet smooth and does show a very mild tartness after the sip. For the Smoothie style it’s quite remarkable. It really resembles a cocktail. Quite delicious.

16 oz can. Aroma of orange, tangerine, grapefruit. In the flavor it is like a cross pollination of a white grapefruit and a orange. Shows a very subtle citrus pith bitterness and still has a large juice element to it. The smooth mouth feel is velvet smooth with totally hidden alcohol. One of the top IPA’s I have tried in years. Gosh DAMN! Wish I had another can of this!
