12 oz can, 2.49 @ John's Grocery. Frothy, rocky head over a very hazy gold beer. Sticky resin nose, a bit of warmth in the scent. Similar big resiny taste, with some malt and alcohol in the rear. Not much fizz. Smudged canning date looks like Feb. 22, and hops may be just starting to go stale. But a pleasant double IPA nonetheless.

Single can from HyVee, Spencer, IA. Dated 4/9/21. Very pink beer under a big pink, fizzy head. That pink beer is pretty hazy. Smell has some nice berries, just a bit of tartness. Nice fruity soda pop taste with some Sour Patch built in. Puckery, but not overdone.

Date stamp says canned 9 months ago. And both aromas and flavors have old hops, unbalanced bitter and sweet with good carbonation, body and a too sweet finish. Update: having it fresh on draft. Way better. Aromas are citrus and some good weed. Flavors have a nice balance between bitter, sweet and just right carbonation. Very satisfying and repeatable.

A gift from Brad and Angela, thanks guys! The Aromas are fresh Citrus hops with a little cut grass and hints of resin. Flavors are Like Nose, with resin coming out a little bit more along with some sweet but nicely balanced with some bitter and carbonation. Good body, nice finish.
