This pint can came from the inventory at Half Time, I’m ready to have a taste. Globe glass ready and I pour. I see an extremely clear medium gold liquid with a pillowy head of almost white foam. I get a scent of yellow fruit, citrus and a touch of hops. I have a taste, it’s okay but not exactly there for some reason. Malt, a mild hoppiness, a touch of honey, straw and cardboard. Middle of the pack for DIPAs I’ve had through the years at best.

US Pint can from Trader Joe's in Mission Viejo, drank on 26th April 2025 in Laguna Hills, last night of our holiday. This is bloody awful, it's a hazed pale golden colour with a fast fading white head. It had a wet carboard aroma and taste, it could have been an out of date Bud Lite or similar, just an awful beer from start to finish, most people would have drain poured it.

US pint can from a local Trader Joe's by my daughter, drank at her place in Laguna Hills on 25th March 2025. Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip (twice). Light haze to the golden body, weak and fast fading white head. Hoppy nose with a citrus leaning, piney notes arrived as the beer warmed in the glass.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports a full off white head of foam. The aroma offers up floral hops, some dank onion, a dash of berry and then faint citrus and tropical fruity notes. The taste delivers a blend of bitter citrus hops bitterness and juiciness leading to a modest degree of soft sweet guava like tropical fruitiness. To midway a tiny island of spicy onion like hop bitterness is noticed from time to time. Pretty fun beer.
