12oz can. Viney, vegetal hop aroma. Sort of a messy, classical APA with added depth from the wet hopping. Probably the most enjoyable hoppy beer I've had from BB, but still not that impressive. Enjoyable enough.

12oz can. Can overflowing, massive head makes me think infection. Odd harshness in the aroma and flavor. This is pretty much another nail in the coffin for Broken Bat. Aroma just gets worse and worse, making it hard to stomach. Terrible brewing.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 9/1/23. Nearly murky amber, large off-white head, good retention. Aroma of mango, passionfruit, tropical fruit, pale malt. Taste is lime, tropical fruit, pale malt. Moderate bitterness, a bit thin. Decent.

12oz can. All out with artificial candy lemon tone. Pleasant lactic kettle sour tone. Not bad for what it is.

12oz can. True enough to style, perhaps not leaning quite enough into the yeast and corn. Nothing impressive about it, but drinkable enough, OK.

12oz can. Man Broken Bat are a terrible brewery. Warm, off notes. I feel bad for dropping $1.50 on this can. Really terrible stuff. Burnt plastic, garbage undertones. Pussyfooting at best with the cherry tone. Really weak brewing.

From Brewvana. Canned January 30th 2023.

It pours a cloudy colour of rusty orange, solid head of foam, some lacing.

The smell is some grapefruit citrus, piney perhaps grassy, hint of being dank, tiny bit of toasted malt buried deep.

I may as well say that it tastes like it smells and save some time. It is another rather typical of the style.

I would not seek this out.

From Brewvana, 16 ounce can, canned January 27th 2023.

It pours a slightly hazy pale gold with an impressive head of foam and lacing.

I get piney hops notes, almost a dry hopped aroma, mild cracker malt.

The taste is actually a mix of grapefruit and pine, cracker malt, and imho, it has a dry aspect to it.

Good mouthfeel.

Interesting style, this Cold IPA.

Tap at Broken Bat. Overboard powdery cocoa and cinnamon tone. No finesse, nothing really fun...just a straight up cheesy pastry for you. Adjuncts are lame here. Base is weak too.

Tap at Broken Bat. Rye gives it a nice touch. Not World Class stuff, but Rye IPA is always sort of nice.
