Very hazy deep copper and bronze coloured body with a pretty nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head that caps the 90 per cent opaque glowing straw coloured body. Aroma of oranges, mangoes, light hay and grass, some slight herbal notes, but seemingly a good blend of sugars, alcohol and pungency, at least in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep and assertive hop notes and alpha acid bitterness comes out first with some pretty noticeable resin and floral, grassy finishes without much sweetness, but definitely a lot of astringency and a lot of dryness here - clearly showing more of an older school characteristic. Aftertaste is deep, dry, grassy and quite hoppy - with a nice alpha acid bitterness throughout, some pungent resinous flavours and some pine and grapefruit at the end, without any real sugars on the end of this. Overall, a nice beer that shows much more of an old school, West Coastie IPA than anything new school (fruity, easy-drinking, non-bitter, etc) aside from the unfiltered look...of course. Great to sample and I'm a fan of this, given it seems like 'The Haze' has finally LOST...aside from this being, actually...um...hazy. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 25-November-2022 for US$4,49 packaged on 06-May-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 22-January-2023.

bottle. Sharp hizzing sound when i slightly lifted the capsule, ran to the kitchen sink and opened a bit more there, tons of beer foam came shooting out of the still capped beer, after a while I could open more and even more came out, but it stopped with about 33cl left in the 60cl bottle. Pretty crazy. I was a bit concerned the capsule would fly off and create an injury or the bottle explode bc of the pressure. unclear red-brown, white head with a few yeast particles. very nice very fruity jam-like red-berries aroma. flavor is red berries, a lot of funk, mouldy notes, fruit kernel bitterness, tastes like an old fashioned american fruit beer, with some fruit kernel bitterness and not much yeasty sourness.

A black beer, a head is medium and brown. Aroma has apple pie, cinnamon, roastiness. Taste has caramel, cinnamon, some roastiness and chili without burning. Full bodied. Strong cinnamon, but it's not spoil this.

Smell-malt, caramel, weak yeast maybe, faint alcohol tones. Foam-thin, malt, caramel, weka sweetness, maybe faint raisin, weak alcohol. The head is somewhat small, white in color, brown tint. Appearance- somewhat nice label with a horse. Seems black in color, with some active carbonation.
