16oz can. No date, no sort of a mystery there. Hops are a little diesely green onion...but also kind of inappropriate hop choices all around for a hazy. Tons of floaties once you pour the bottom third of the can. A little off, but not that bad. Like sixpack haze, a pinch better.

16 oz can. Flavor is mild peach, apricot, soft yeast. Pretty decent amount of juicy fruit though out. Pine is subtle in the finish. Very respectable.

Draught @ The Long Room, Chicago IL. Extremely hazy bright yellow with a foamy off-white head, faint citrus-coriander aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel-pineapple taste with coriander flavor, smooth body, lomg finish. Well balanced NEIPA.

Aromas are malt, spice, citrus and bread. Flavors are similar to nose. Hoppy and bittersweet. Good body and carbonation. Lightly sweet finish.

Aromas seem to be standard red IPA - resiny with amber malt and a hint of citrus. Flavors are similar to nose, add in a hint of toffee, more bitter than sweet with good carbonation. Full body and satisfying. Good red IPA.

Pint can picked up from the Solemn Oath taproom in Chicago - really fizzy nearly black pour - at first kicks up a massive fizzy head, just like soda, and then that completely disappears - it really does look just like cola - feels flat in the mouth - it also kinda tastes like cola, honestly - it's sweet, but not cloyingly so, but then has a slightly sharp acidity on the back end, finishing quite a bit like a soda would - there are some caramel flavors, a touch of chocolate, a bit of vanilla on the back end - sharp finish - it's not great.

Can picked up from the Solemn Oath Chicago taproom - black pour with a moderate lace - nose is quite sweet, with some heavy chocolate, vanilla, lactose, a touch of coffee - velvety texture, slick in the mouth - flavor is fairly sweet, with a lot of vanilla, chocolate, coconut - a bit of spiciness and alcohol warmth late - sweetness lingers a bit too much - it's fine.

Pint can picked up at the Solemn Oath taproom in Chicago - black pour - smells strongly of marshmallow, graham cracker, and chocolate - almost doesn't smell like beer - heavy in the mouth - cloyingly sweet, but also kind of sharply acidic - a lot of marshmallow and chocolate - just so, so sweet - this stuff is hangover juice - really boozy in the finish - yeah, I can't drink much of this.

Black with an enormous fluffy brown head. Toasty with malted milk ball, molasses and a hint of red wine. Long finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth
