Super hazy, almost chunky, deep raw honey, strong golden colouredd body with a microfoamed, very tall five to six centimetre tall tan and off-white head that stays on top a very long time over the 99 per cent opaque body - beautiful! Aroma of grass, strong citrus fruits, deep dank hop bitterness and a pungent astringency of metal, alcohol, grain and some slight candy notes on the end that seemingly adds sweetness - at least in the nose. Full-bodied; Dank, very rich grapefruit and complex hop bitterness that shows a great character with a lot of oat and wheat body here, but the bitterness, dryness and citrusey grassy finish is very nice with the faintest doses of sugars to round out the flavour. Aftertaste is very nice, dank and pungent with a great old school bitterness of a West Coaster, the richness of a barley wine and the look of a new school New England IPA or really just a glass of Orange Juice (with a nice head). Overall, a very nice IPA that hits the marks across all styles with a great look, amazing body, strong complexity and a great name, too! Very highly recommended if you can find it and drink it while it's fresh - it's great! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-April-2023.

Very nice, ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a pretty large, four to five centimetre tall pure white head that caps the beer nicely and fades pretty quickly, but leaves a soft layer on top, around two centimetres after a few seconds. Aroma of lightly smoked malts with some lighter biscuity and herbal elements, a dash of soft hops from Europe somewhere (with low alpha acids) and a dry floral finish with no real sweetness noticeable here at all and some yeast on the tail end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and floral notes dominate with a very strong smokey and meaty flavour with some bigger mushroomy and umami flavours coming out, but the smoked grainy notes still are strongest, with a light dash of flowers and hay towards the end. Aftertaste shows some light sweetness from caramelised sugars and toffee with a herbal and floral bite along with a slight earthy bite and a good smoked element from the malts here. Overall, a pretty enjoyable beer with a good lightly smoked quality of peat and especially beechwood with a dry character and a smooth finish at the end, but enough complexity and depth, especially for a lager, to be thoroughly enjoyable. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 18-cember-2021 for US$3,59 sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-January-2023.
