On tap at Aslan Depot, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma has dry bready malt, not much else, maybe some earthiness. Flavour is dry, with bready malt, a touch of caramel, not much in the way of hops. Pretty uninteresting but inoffensive.

On tap at WABF, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is insane, with intense cinnamon, maple syrup, bourbon, and fusel alcohol. Flavour is over the top and monstrous, with fusel alcohol, maple syrup, light cinnamon , and sugars. So ridiculously thick and syrupy. Rough, unbalanced and harsh but it's not that bad considering what it is.

On tap at WABF 2024, pours a clear pale piss yellow with a small white head. Aroma has lots of mineraly notes and a touch of lime. Flavour is very clean, with straw and light lime. Very clean and water-like. It's fine.

Poured from 355mL can (date stamped 2142023 - no spaces or slashes). Clear-ish gold with small white head. Fairly piney with pale bready malt. Definitely has some age on it, but has some nice potential if it were fresh (likely).

Aroma is mellow piney, and it's got a nice pale malt base, with a piney, slightly orangey note. Decent, clean, simple IPA.

12 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is definitely not fresh, with piney hops, gentle cardboard, and bready malt. Flavour is definitely past its prime, with some spicy piney hops, bready malt, and a touch of cardboard. This could've been good fresh, but it's just too old now.

Excellent IPA. Super fresh pine aroma. A little pineapple, fresh and just ripe. Golden pour with fluffy initial head. Bitter ass finish, great body. My favourite type of IPA. Juicy as hell and bitter ass. Can.

Draft pour, enjoyed at Talking Cedar. Definitely milkshake here. No hiding it. Peach reddish orange appearance, soft glow. No head. Really sweet taste. Lots of peach, even more vanilla. Lingering ice cream like palate. I don't know if I'm completely on board with this style, and I think milkshakes belong in their own food group of greatness. Too sweet for my taste, but you get what you order on a beer like this. Great qualities to this, and it drinks much smoother than 8.6 percent.

Draft pour, enjoyed at Talking Cedar. A slightly hazy golden appearance. Juicy is a bit of an understatement. Full of pineapple and mixed tropical fruit aroma and flavor. Smooth and easy drinking. Low bitter, fruity finish. Fun, tasty brew here.
