Can pours with a clear gold colored body that supports a bright white head of foam. The aroma pulses with dank spicy garlic, tangy tangelo, tangerine and grapefruit. The taste delivers tangy bitter tangerine and grapefruit ringed with spicy onion dankness. Wow, this works great as a low boost West Coast IPA but the malt backbone is a tad different than a classic Pale. Damn this is good nonetheless.

50cl bottle pours with a clear mahogany colored body that supports a light tan head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up pulsing notes of molasses, nuttiness, and a dash of biscuit flowing into sweet malts and a bit of sweet dark fruity esters thinly lined with reduced sugars. The taste delivers malt infused sweet molasses goodness bleeding into some nuttiness and a bit of a mineral character. To midway more sweet malts and sort of brown sugar note meekly bubble to the surface as a vague nuttiness is noticed. Fun sipper with minimal sense of the big abv. Additional sips often reveal a vague muted hop bitterness. Wait, what? 100 ibu? Uh, I think the ibu tool is out of calibration.

On a three beer flight in the Pizza Store by OC Local; 5th September 2025. Misty orange body, white affair on top. Citrus lead in the nose and taste, oranges to the fore in both. Malty base comes through nicely too.

On a three beer flight in the Pizza Store by OC Local; 5th September 2025. Very pale, light golden colour, clean and clear look, white wisp on top. Subtle hop content with both citrus and piney flavours over the semi-sweet malty base.
