12 ounce can from Trader Joe’s. Dated July 1. Enjoyed while grilling outside in unseasonably warm November weather. Pillowy head over a golden hazy beer with floaty particles in it. The nose has citrus and resiny hops. A slight base malt smell is perceptible. the taste has more balance between hops and malt. A bit more grained to the hop. Warming alcohol is apparent from the starting ship. Now some citrus hop, closest to lemon. I get behind double IPAD that offer balance instead of being hop bombs.

12 oz. can from Trader Joe's. Happy hoppy smell from the moment I pop the top. Smell deepens to more resin and citrus, with orange dominating. A slightly hazy amber to orange body with a spongy head. I guess I could call the taste a little dank. There's a taste of the stems and seeds of a big hop load. But this does not overdo the bitterness. Settles instead for a nice citrus and pine note on top of that dank. Rather, it's easy to take and easy to enjoy.

Can, thanks Gregg. Nice aroma, bit of honey and spice, some citrus. Honey in the taste and light bitterness. Honey sweetness but with a bit of a spike.

Can. Pours a near clear yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of tropical fruit with guava and light mango supported by a touch of light grains. Flavor starts with sweet tropical fruits that mellow and allow some light grains underlying.

12 oz can from Tavour. Cloudy orange/golden pour, sizable foamy head. Aroma is soft citrusy and bready notes. With the taste comes some light dankness, orange zest, creamy feel.
