16 oz can from Half Time, 2/17/21. Canned 12/2/20. Pours a darker orange color with an off-white head. Pineapple, grapefruit, and resin hops on the aroma and flavor, with a fairly strong bread / dough malt backbone as well. Medium bodied, smooth, slightly sticky. Pretty good.

16 oz can from Half Time, 2/16/21. Canned 11/19/20. Orange color with an off-white head and plenty of lacework. Sweeter, fruity aroma and flavor, with melon, peach, and grapefruit. Has sweet malt undertones as well. Not a world beater, but a tasty, well-made beer.

473ml can. Jet black colour with average, frothy, rapidly diminishing, beige head. Roasty, dark and caramel malty aroma, notes of dark caramel, coffee, coffee surrogate, a touch of pumpernickel, dark rye bread, very cautious fruity hints of bramble, blueberry and plum, whiffs of alcohol. Taste is sweet and roasty, dark and caramel malty, notes of dark caramel, some treacle, coffee, coffee surrogate, a touch of pumpernickel, dark rye bread, a touch of plum wine; lingering, warming, almost pungent, alcoholic finish. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate with a pungent touch due to the alcohol, fine and soft, minimally prickly carbonation. Very nice, harmonious malt flavours, but rather boozy, overall a bit restricted if not monotonous - good, but quite a step afar from the Polish upper-class setting the tone.

Pours clear, deep gold into a shaker. Bright white pillowy head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Sweet caramel, sourdough and mild funk aromas. Sharp with biscuit, dried pit fruit and hay upfront turning to dry caramel and treacle before the lasting earthy bark finish.

Ridiculously hazy golden and raw honey coloured body with a thick, two to three centimetre tall that fades a bit slowly, all on top of the ninety per cent opaque glowing body. Aroma of deep yeast, dough, bread, alcohol, oranges and tangerines with a dry scent and a slight astrigent bit in the nose as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich, deep malty and pungent resinous and grapefruity properties that show a lot of bitterness and alpha acids with a crisp, dry and herbal quality towards the end with a light fruit-based sweetness at the finish. Aftertaste is rich, dry, slightly floral, but always hoppy and bitter, in a good way. Overall, this is a nice, almost Imperial, sort of New England, definitely unfiltered, dry and slightly fruity old school IPA with a lot of bitterness and solid complexity. Good to sample and nice if you like drier Imperialish IPAs that just happen to be unfiltered. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Chelsea), New York on 21-December-2020 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-January-2021.
