12oz can. Easily the worst, cheapest aroma I've ever experienced from an Ale Asylum beer. Has that cheap, grainy smell. The taste is a little better, mostly like a PBR type beer, maybe a hint of cream ale in there with the corn. The aroma is the biggest detractor. Not a beer I'd buy again.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Menomonee Falls. Inspired by the Manitowoc Minute. Personally my favorite episode: https://youtu.be/GEOu7o9cdqo. Nazis go to hell. Hazy yellow, large foamy white head. Good retention. Aroma of pale malt, grain, green hops. Taste matches with a bit of lemon. Medium bodied. I feel like I need to pair this with cheese. Damn the hangover, full speed ahead!

On tap at PAMP. Pours a clear light straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy tropical fruits and light citrus with grains and a hint of grass underlying. Flavor has dank tropical fruit and bittter citrus with a grain backbone.

12oz can. A rather awesome $5.49 a sixpack! Not really that much of a hazy....maybe some Mosaic in there, but overall drinks more like a Session IPA. Mild wheat tones. Pleasant hop depth, some more classical rindy tones balance out the mild peachy-orange-mango tones. Solid beer overall, just wish they hadn't exploited the NE moniker.

12oz can. Unfiltered orange-tan body. Steady off-white head. Aroma is old school, resinous, piney, oily, charred. Taste is the same. Certainly not a modern flavor profile for a beer that came out in 2018. Tastes like a mediocre NW beer of 20 years ago. Drinkable, but a pretty unimpressive showcase of Amarillo.
