16 oz. Can shared Jow, thanks! Very soft ham, weak smoke, mild wheat. Certainly not ridiculously forward in the smoke malt. Also really like the Dr. Dre reference.

Draught at Power Beer Fest, 5/14/22. Moderately hazy, peachy-copper-golden with a thick, off-white head showing moderate retention. Boisterous, fruity nose with peachy esters and light honey from the malt. Juicy hops add good balance while there's no resin, alcohol or lactose. Fruity, juicy, soft, flavorful with good malt depth and attenuation. No lactose is like a godsend here, with juicy fruits, soft esters and sweet malts galore. Really fucking lovely stuff, so nice to see someone go out of their way to do a milkshake IPA without lactose.

Can at Power Beer Fest, 5/14/22. Nice to see people still doing this style (Grodziskie). Pours an ever-so-slightly-hazy, blonde-brass with a small, but well-retained, white head. Lovely smokiness here, woody and mild, but still aromatic. Just a touch of mild lactic character behind it with soft, dough and honey-like malts. Clean. Smokey, with light lemon, honey, wood and soft, well-attenuated and well-textured malts. Not overdone in any aspect, especially the malt. Tartness/lemony acidity balances the soft, succulent, chewy malts perfectly.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Soapy white head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Wet straw, citrus and sourdough aromas. Crisp with sour apple, cracker and sourdough upfront turning to mild, bitter earth in the medium length finish.

Canned 10/27/21, drunk 11/21/21. Moderately hazy canteloupe with a frothy, white head showing good retention. A bit dirty in the nose, earthy and such with weird minerals, the canned pineapple telltale of sabro and maybe a touch of melon, pine and tangerine. In the mouth it's pretty mild, low in flavor, some bland texture showing through, very dry with a rather soft, but not as sumptuous as I'd like malt texture. That said, it's only 5.3% so should give it some leeway. Pretty interesting flavors and not all ruined by punchy/twangy, gross canned pineapple, nor is it heavily/sharply piney from the El Dorado. Some pine, mango, papaya, melon and more honey with warming, getting softer and more approachable. I think this is a very well-made beer, perhaps just not in love with these hops (though they're done pretty admirably).

Taster pour on tap at 13th annual NH Brewfest. It's an opaque dark yellow with tons of sparkle, creamy cap of white head with excellent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is an interesting mix of floral-dandelion and herb. Taste follows aroma with intriguing mix of florals and herb along with yeast. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp, dry finish.
