Hmm. My notes are kinda minimal. Probably was drunk. Here they are verbatim: “Hazy yellow thin white. Melon pale malt. Watermelon pale malt.” That is appearance, aroma, taste. Nothing else. At least I noted the score.

Tap at IPA fest. Floury dried out body. ABV too big. Nice to let the Cashmere shine, cool unique finish. Just not wild about their base recipes I guess.

Aromas are in order, skunk, citrus and wet grain. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, leaning sweet and wet grain stands out. Body is a touch thin with decent carbonation. Not bad not great.

Hahaha, wow, can't believe it, skunk weed. Been a looong time since I've used that. But that's exactly what this is. Loads of skunk and loads of weed. Good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. I'm not a fan of skunky beer at all but somehow this is good.

Aromas are hops and coffee. IMHO those two things don't go together. Flavors are similar to nose and my opinion regarding those ingredients remains the same. Leans slightly sweet.

Aromas are a subdued blend of citrus, resin, and weed hops. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, lightly Sweet at first with bitter coming on stronger and then sweet returning a little at the end. Citrus is strong here too. Not bad but nothing special.

Half liter bottle from Woodman's Appleton, 5/17/23. Murky orange, medium white head, average retention. Aroma of mango, passionfruit, pale malt. Taste is grapefruit, dank, passionfruit, pale malt. Juicy, low bitterness. Solid.

Aromas are volatile and as soon as I open the bottle I got weed and skunk hops but in the glass, weed comes on stronger and skunk recedes, adding in a little citrus and resin. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, slightly on the dry side, weed dominates with slightly soft carbonation and decent bitter. A touch sweet in the finish.

Capped 500 mL bottle from Ridgeview Liquor, 4/15/23. I like the name, and the fact that it’s labeled an “India Pale Lager” in the world of cold IPAs. This seems like they are saying “Cold IPA” is BS, they are just IPLs with some marketing spin, and not a new style. I will die with them on that hill. Clear gold, medium off-white head, average retention. Aroma of dank hops. Very weed-like. I’ll join them on THAT hill too. Aroma also has pale malt. But really straight Delta-9. Taste is dank, stone fruit, tropical fruit, pine, pale malt. Slick, moderate bitterness. Lots of hills to die on. I like.
