Draft pour enjoyed at Ravenna. Rating from backlog. Pale golden yellow appearance. Really standout hop profile here. Nose is juicy up front, with a grassy, onion follow. Smooth taste up front, with a transitioning, slightly aggressive resinous hop. Earthy malts actually linger longer than the impressionable hop bill. Some fruity hops blend well with a grassy note. Easy drinking imperial for sure. Enjoyed this.

Draft pour enjoyed at Ravenna. Rating from backlog. Pale golden yellow appearance. Thin, lasting head. Very similar to the Sparkle Motion, as I tried them side by side. Melon fruit character, with supporting citrus and tropical notes. Low bitter, juicy constant finish. Very nice.

15/XI/22 - 1Pt. can from a trade, shared @ home, BB: n/a, canned: IX/9/22 (2022-1626) Thanks to Aaron for the trade!
Cloudy yellow blond beer, huge creamy to aery off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: oh my, that’s a lot of marijuana up front! Very hoppy and dank, some onions, fruity, tropical fruits, juicy. MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: gentle bitterness, pretty dank, a bit soapy, lots of marijuana, a bit grassy, juicy, decent. Aftertaste: lots of marijuana, a little bitter, spicy, herbal, a bit chemical, more marijuana, meh. Not bad, but it sure smelled a lot better than it tastes.

On tap at Ravenna, pours a near-black with an amber tinge and a small beige head. Aroma is pretty robust, with plenty of roast, dry cocoa, and even some earthy hops. Flavour is likewise robust, with plenty of roasted malt, dark cocoa, and a decent hoppy punch. Robust and full-bodied as you want in this style. Very good.

On tap at Ravenna, pours a clear dull yellow blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of bright piney hops, a hint of resins, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is likewise very piney in the hop department, with a touch of sweet oiliness, and a sufficient malt backbone. Piney, smooth and clean. Nicely done.

On tap at Ravenna, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle grassy hops and relatively crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is clean, with light herbal notes, a touch of grass, and crisp bready malt. Under-hopped — you gotta jam a lot more hops in this to be a proper Czech pils / lager. It's fine but unexciting.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. This has been a fantastic series, amd one I have began looking forward to during this busy beer season. Juicy golden orange haze. Grassy hop nose, touch of onion,barely a hint of tropical fruits. Flavor is extremely refreshing, with tons of grassy hop character without the vegetal notes that typically seperate the great and good fresh hop brews for me. Smooth taste, solid Chinook hop showcase. Excellent brew
