16oz.can from Total Wine & More. Light orangey brown, hazy with a tiny line of white head. Sweet potato, mastic, some sweet cooking spices. Tastes sweet, squashy and spicy with a touch of something savoury. Long spicy finish. It’s pretty intense, and although I’m not convinced that such a creature should exist, I enjoyed it for what it was.

Pretty clear, but slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of light chiles, a good deal of biscuity and grainy malts with some sugars in the nose, but this mainly smells of the malt and chiles with a dash of hops here as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Pretty significant chile flavour shows at first without any real heat, but a lot of the chile flavours, similar to that from hatch chiles, with a good hop bitterness from the fresh hops show as well and provide a nice complexity at the tail end. Aftertaste shows a lot of pungency from all sides - the chiles, to the malt and the strong hops are all here with a lot of pungency but enjoyable complexity at the end without any sugars of course, but some significant hops and good malt too. Overall, a nice IPA that doesn't really show any of the Imperial Status at all, but shows nicely with a good chile flavour and some pungent bitterness, but structured throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Altamonte Springs, Florida on 01-January-2023 for US$4,99 sampled at my hotel room here in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on 01-February-2023, a month later after purchase.

Super clear golden and light orange coloured body with no head at all - not when poured vigorously or at anytime during the opening - crazy and still, beautifully clear copper glowing body. Aroma of soured lime, tequilla, oaky and lightly biscuity notes show in the nose with a ton of soured, tart and funky quotients, but nothing overtly suggesting the power of this, in the nose, at least. Light-bodied; Strong lime and tequilla, agave flavours show at first with some honey and light graininess, but this is pretty clean-drinking, slightly soured and tart with a lot of sweetness, but nothing overly done or pungent, especially any alcohol in the flavour with a clean bite showing a bunch of sugars, but not really much in terms of pungency or alcohol - this is pretty easy-drinking, somehow! Aftertaste shows some light limey and very tequilla-y notes that bring off a bit of a soured and funky, slightly lactobilly notes in the immediate flavours with a tiny hint of alcohol here and some additional sugars, but nowhere close to double-digits nor any cloying qualities in the sugars. Overall, a very nice, super unexpecting and funky, tart beer that shows around 6 or at most 7 per cent alcohol that is super deceiving, but perhaps that has to do with the age of this, but without there being sediment here and bottle-conditioned qualities, I'm not sure how much really did change in this one, but I do know it is SUPER easy-drinking if the alcohol content (14%!?!) is correct. I sampled this twelve ounce (I swear it's actually 33 cL) bottle purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop in Arlington, Virginia on 19-July-2019 for US$4,59 sampled about three and a half years later at my house here in Washington, just a few blocks away on 28-January-2023.
