16 ounce can from the Boise Co-op Meridian. Orange golden pour with a mild Haze and a huge towering Rocky head. Aroma is a bit of bready malts and some light tropical fruit notes. Tropical notes carry over to the taste for an initial sweetness, which quickly turns into a flat dry bitterness from the Hops. This is the opposite of Juicy. Still trying to figure out if I like this or not, the dry finish is a bit rough. Also note that it was cammed and November of 2018, and was purchased in March of 2019.

Been waiting to try this bottle, high hopes. Has the mild smell of gramma's permanent hair treatment. Well, she's not lonely anymore! Typical pale appearance. Easy going on the palate, taste is acceptable, civilized and almost satisfying. Typical well made lager, err...... I mean blond. Yes, goes down pretty easy and I like that attitude. Creamy head on a second pour. Now there is a slight haze off the bottom of the bottle. Some sediment fersher. Makes my ego feel better just thinking about the pleasantness of this brew. Decent friendly introduction as well as a civilized departure on the finish. Not bad, thanks. 2$ at vintage estate. No real ill ale attributes and I'm thankful of that. Just like I said, has a the manners of a good cheap lager. How bout that! A fricken' ale with manners; hard to find.

16 oz can from Tavour. Murky, orange golden pour with nice creamy, fluffy head. Streaky lacing. Aroma is fruity, mix of citrus and tropical scents. Taste begins with light, sweet fruity flavors becore being subsumed by a persistent, tangy bitterness.

[16oz can from Total Wines, Naples, Fl.] A light amber pour with a thick cream head; malty aroma; smooth malty taste with just a touch of grassy bitterness, and a dry finish. Not matching my idea of a lager in any way.

Bottle. Slight haze on pale with lively visible co2. Same with the uptake, good cutting co2 on the palate. Almost makes the bitter hop bite pleasant, almost. Yes, rubbery veggie flavor as with most session IPA. But hey, why would I want this ruff flavor without any alky kick behind it. I say these session IPAs are a waste of my palate, come on, give a big alky kick if I'm going to insult my taste buds with veggie hops. Forgettahbouttit, those stupid ass session IPA, stupid idea, stupid taste, all of them. Useless, rubbery veggie nose as well. However, in the end I have to say its not as bad as a real IPA and its seems to fresh as well.

Mild brisk hop nose from this bottle, yes, smells like a new butyl inner tube, a copolymer of isobutylene with isoprene. Cloudy like a hefe and it has a big whitish head. Taste is big bitter straight up ass hop bitter nasty over the top sharp bitchin bastard, So rude, so nasty, typical double IPA rudeness. What else can be said? Its just one big boggy fat hop of a beer. WTF? What is it with this style. Stronger rototiller plow up the field of the taste buds, oh my.

Bottle, drank right from. Presumed good dark beer eye. Nose is fresh dark malt. Taste is very palatable fresh porter feel, not over the top, thank you. Very little if any baltic in this fine example of a porter. Goes down easy and its very much appreciated, big nice beer for me. Did not anticipate this tasting this good.
