16oz can. Discernable English malts. I don't get a lot of character from the hops, but I'm not really sure what to look for either. Great balance, expert execution, fully enjoyable beer. Might be a little boring in the UK, but stands out as fairly unique in the US.

12oz can. Really nice barrel tone, really nice base beer. Pretty much nails it. Fudgy. A nice ABV for the style, not a 14% sugar monster. Still rich and bold for sure, just a lot more balanced and enjoyable. Just nails it, great stuff.

16oz can. Another awesome one from Art History. Pretty much just nails it, awesome malt depth. Rich, but clean. Berry touched caramel, chocolate, toffee, brown sugar. Mellow underlying zesty hop balance. Really good.

Hop bill has changed to Galaxy, Rakau, Wai'iti, and Enigma. Really has a nice Southern Hemisphere hop bill, lots of flavor but not really any bitterness. Tropical hops, soft and sweet body. Better than 6pack stuff, but not really quite the bold hop display that would keep me interested. Well made, OK.

Draught @ Bad Apple, Chicago (Nov 2024). Faintly cloudy dark gold with a foamy off-white head, orange peel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter orange peel taste with piney flavor, thin body, long bitterish finish. Tasty West Coast style IPA.

16oz can. Wow. Awesome example of a rarely seen style. Deep, rich malt depth...chocolate, toffee, backed by a nice steady hop tone. Art History keeps me loving beer. Great stuff.
