16 oz. can, pours a lightly hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty citrusy hops, pine, light allium, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has a nice array of dank, citrusy, and piney hops, with biscuity malt, finishing lightly dank and tart citrusy. Not the best hop expression, but well-balanced and nicely constructed. Good but far from peak Hetty Alice.

473mL can. Pours hazy blonde with a white head. Fresh piney and herbal hops on the nose. Flavour is herbal and piney, hops are a bit subdued, almost a dull allium character. Light to moderate bitterness. Solid IPA, but the hops are not great.

16 oz. can, pours a bash pale golden with a large white head. Nose is fairly restrained, thankfully bringing out the Simcoe upfront with that dry, sprucey hop character, with a crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has more vibrance, with gentle piney hops, light citrusy hop tang, and a crisp biscuity malt. Clean and balanced, very fresh and vibrant. Very good hoppy APA.

16 oz. can, pours a clear dark orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is full of big woody resinous hops, bright pine, and a big caramel malt base (crystal I guess?). Flavour is forceful, with lots of woody resins, pine, and a big caramel malt base. Wonderful expression of the Chinook, though that malt base could be a little less aggressive. Regardless, great hop expression and decent balance. Very good.

16 oz. can, pours a hazy copper golden with a Merlin white head. Aroma reveals bright melony hops, some pine, and a touch of citrus—thankfully no allium. Flavour is bright, with a nice melony hop tang from the Krush, bright pine, some citrus, and a crisp biscuity malt. For this hop bill, the expression is really good. Bright, balanced, and extremely drinkable.

16 oz. can, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out a very nice tangy, melony hops, some light citrus, a touch of pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bright, with big tangy, melony hops — mimicking the best of NZ hops but with a PNW flare, with some pine, citrus peel, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Finishes tangy, piney, moderately bitter. Excellent use of a hop that doesn’t always come through that well.
