16 ounce can from Hamilton Super BuyRite. Cloudy orange gold pour is topped by a large pillowy white head. Aromas of tropical citrus, lime, stone fruits and more. The Rakau hops bring another level of flavor. Notes of plum, pear, mango, apricot and peach round out this sweet, juicy overload. A bit of piney dankness on the backend. Nicely done.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Nearly opaque, dark brown color. Foamy tan head. Roasted malt aroma has notes of cold brew coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor is more of the same. Dark chocolate, strong coffee, roasted malt, vanilla and toasted nuts.

16 oz can in a trade with Crafty Halfpint. Can date of 5/22/22!, yikes! Aroma shows very mild citrus with soft coconut from Sabro. I have to be honest here; I’m surprised this is still drinkable. I almost never drink an IPA that’s older than four months. This actually held up. Mild levels of citrus, pineapple, and again light coconut nuances. I’m astonished that it held up!
