Canned 10/12/22, drunk 12/18/22. Moderately hazy raspberry-cranberry-blueberry juice. Large, pink head showing moderate retention. Jammy enough in the nose with a healthy amount of berry acidity and moderate lactic acidity. A bit flat in the sense that it feels rather kettle-like. I suspect these weisses are now just basic kettle sours, where they used to be barrel aged sours. Not all that bright or interesting. But clean enough, I guess. Berries and lots of lactic acidity. Very little base malt, though enough wheat to provide texture and mild softness on the palate. Cracker, blueberry, raspberry and simple, boring kettle soured lactic acidity. Competent enough but wholly unexciting or inspired. RIP Nightshift.

Can from Advent box day 6 Lightly hazy medium amber color with good sized frothy white head that persists. Apple and cinnamon dominate the nose and flavor. Not much beer there mostly a spiced cider imho. Tasty but not beer.

Super hazy, about 80 per cent opaque straw yellow coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a long time and leaves a small lace on the sides of the glass. Aroma of very juicy (makes sense, huh?) Notes with oranges, guava, papaya, mangoes and especially appley notes that gives off a rich oaty and wheat malt profile that shows a lot of sweetness and some candy notes towards the end, with some light bitterness from the hops. Medium-bodied; Rich oat and wheatie notes dominate with a lot of fruits here front and centre along with a pungent, floral and especially sweet quality with guava, mangoes and the strongest - papaya all here, along with a lot of sugars and some slight bitterness at the very end - quite strong and rich throughout. Aftertaste is enjoyable with a lot of sweetness, but the malts especially and light bitterness from the hops all hit together and provide a good robust beer throughout that is long-lasting, fairly easy-going and still full-of-flavour. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can purchased from Whole Foods in New York (NoMad, 28th Street),  New York on 04-December-2022 for US$4,99, canned on 20-May-2022 and sampled on the train home to Washington on 04-December-2022.

Canned 11/14/22, drunk 11/28/22. Mildly hazy, heavy bronze. Off-white head is medium-sized, shows moderate retention. Pineapple tangelo, peach, mango and light pine. No resin, alcohol, light maltiness of cracker and biscuit. Clean yeast. Lots of citrus, pine, peach, kumquat and white grape. Big maltiness, with honey and biscuit, huge texture, heavily expansive carbonation. For all the NEIPA of its name, its mostly just pine and citrus. Clean, a bit of booze, lingering bitterness and sugar.

Pours deep mahogany from a dancing owls can into a stein. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to coat surface leaving scant spiders. Earthy pumpernickel and caramel aromas. Crisp with sweet raisin brown bread and pumpernickel upfront turning to thin multigrain sourdough in the medium length finish.

Tap at a country club for coaches appreciation night. Gold pour and frothy head. Nose and tastes of grass and grains and hay and plastic and metal. Standard light lager. Not particular interesting

Good pumpkin spice flavor, surprisingly bitter and bold for a pumpkin stout. Not sweet at all like you’d expect.

Super chocolate-y and sweet, a bit rich and thick. Good dessert stout.

Tart, and predominantly raspberry. A bit of a thin body.

Very, very tart for a sour IPA.
