16 ounce can from Joe Canal’s in Iselin, NJ. Number one with a bullet. Opaque black pour topped by a rocky dark tan head. Nice lacing. Subtle dark malt aroma hints at cocoa powder. Flavor is dank hops and bittersweet chocolate. Spicy and sticky. Notes of black pepper and pine. Smooth and flavorful. Yum!

Can, from the brewery. Pours hazy lemon yellow with a large foamy off-white head, citrus peel aroma, mildly bitter citrus peel-pineapple taste, thin body, long citrusy finish. Quite light and easy to drink, crushable!

Pint can shared by Chris & Kelly at the December 2022 PS tasting, 12/10/22. New brewery! Brewery #2133, USA #1729, New York #67. Clear copper, large tan head, good retention. Aroma of citrus, cinnamon, nuts. Taste is cherry, lime, lemon, ginger. Thin. Okay.

Can, from the brewery. Pours hazy dark yellow-orange with large foamy whitish head, citrus peel-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus p[eel taste with faint mango flavor, thin body, long finish. Decent NEIPA

Can, from the brewery. Pours cloudy dark orange with foamy light beige head, orange peel aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter orange peel taste with faint pineapple flavor, smooth body, long orangey finish. Smooth and easy to drink.

Can, from the brewery. Pours faintly cloudy dark yellow with large foamy beige head, faintly piney malt aroma, low carbonation, initially sweet lightly piney taste that gets mildly bitter, thin body, long sweetish finish. A bit too sweet and not remarkably flavorful.

Draught at Craft and Carry: pours orange with a white head. Citrusy floral. Unrefined. Kind of sweet finish. Meh.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a semi-muddy burnt orange color about it. Mild finger’s worth of white foamy head quickly dissipated and left some sliding lace.
The aroma had some soft sweet nuts with a touch of roast to them. Then a supple floral to grassy to herbal hoppy quality rolls in for a decent balance. Light toast and then some caramel/toffee malts.
The flavor educates the hops with a big flowingly smooth to sweet maltiness. Subtle amounts of damp bread equate to the rest of the flavor and then come together to ride on into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt spot on.
Overall, nicely done Irish red ale that I would be willing to have again.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a mild copper color with a slight transparency about it. Sustaining little white head. Light lace.
The aroma had a soft sweet to semi-spicy rye graininess up front. Pillowy floral qualities come out with a semi-sweet soft malt.
The flavor blends the sweet to the spice somewhat nicely. Floral bittering hops make a decent effort and then a fair maltiness comes in and around to balance pretty nice. Tickling little bit of a spice in the aftertaste. No finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Spicy harshness becomes fairly tame thus makes for a good session especially with a contained ABV.
Overall, I think 1940’s did what they wanted to with this one. I’d have again.

Growler from Craig. Thanks man!
Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a soft burnt orange to copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a good pace. Sliding stringy lace.
The aroma had a some earthy malt playing with some basement/earthy/grassy hops. Then a slight floral/herbal underscore with a touch of semi-sweet breadiness.
The flavor brings all of the previously mentioned aromas together in a good way, definitely a slight good buttery backbone, but not like diacetyl. Nice smooth malty to hoppy aftertaste flowing into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. ABV felt appropriate. Light smooth features rolling along my tongue.
Overall, we’re starting off on the right foot 1940’s as this is a pretty nice English pale ale or an English styled IPA.
