Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a near white full head of foam. The aroma offers up citrus, berries, a slice of melon and then tropical fruit notes. The taste delivers hits of orange and tangerine heading quickly into guava and some pineapple. It sustains a tasty level of hoppy bitterness as soft pillows of tropical fruit hop flavor shoulder their way into the experience. Tasty stuff indeed.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold colored body that supports a wispy little near white head of foam. The aroma offers up an inviting array of strawberry, a bit of melon and some citrus. The taste delivers similar notes with a pleasing hop blend of melon, a touch of strawberry, some grapefruit leading to tangy tangerine. To midway it picks up deeper citrus lined thinly with lime. This is bangin' as it's dry with just the right body and depth. Another classic winner.

On tap at Pizza Port - Carlsbad, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of tropical fruits, tangy hops, citrus, and dank pine. Flavour is dank as hell, with bright piney hops, big dankness, tangy hops, and a bitter, piney, tropical finish. Bright and balanced. Excellent.

Medium brown, no head. Toasty aroma, a fair bit of fruitiness. Almost a candied orange note. A touch more acidic with lighter residual sugars than a lot of modern barley wines but that also makes it drinkable and adds complexity. Not your average sugar bomb, and I like that.

From Bine and Vine. Canned August 14th 2025.
It pours a clear paleish gold with a finger head of foam, very good retention and lacing.
The smell is big notes of pine and citrus, tropical fruit, and rather dank. Toasted malt peeks through, barely.
The taste is grapefruit citrus, tropical fruit and dankness, some pine, toasted malt. Very tasty.
Medium bodied with excellent level of carbonation, I would drink this again.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma initially pulses with tangelo and grapefruit with a hit of clementine before the inviting diesel hits with garlic and earthy dankness. The taste delivers just the right amount of depth, crispness, citrusy orange and grapefruit and then spicy slightly garlic and onion dankness yum. Damn! An aftertaste burp had a mild tropical fruit element to it as well.

Pint can pours with a clear pure gold colored body that supports a nice off white head of foam. The aroma offers up grapefruit, tangerine, a bit of passion fruit and then a constant background murmur of spicy garlic weedy dankness. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of tangy and bitter grapefruit and tangelo citrus as well as slivers of soft mango juiciness flowing into a sense of floral hops. Like the nose there's a persistent background hum of spicy dank hoppiness that keeps this thing fun and putting it's best hop foot forward. Another winner.
