7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy yellow to copper color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which slid off into oblivion inward and barely left any lace.
Aroma: some guava, pineapple and super light mango hoppy tones riding through some piney-like hops and light clean malt base
Flavor: bittersweet running through the prior mentioned aromas; some pillowy aftertaste of pine, guava and mango
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; soft on the tongue; finishes semi-oily and light piney touch
Overall: a West coast styled IPA that I would bang again.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: semi-clear yellow color with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated finely to leave some light sliding lace.
Aroma: some white grapes, sweet grassy hoppiness, light crackery malts
Flavor: integrates the prior noted aromas nicely to a sly oily sweet to semi-bitter vibe; sly aftertaste of white grapes and sweet grassy hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; oily to my tongue; finishes slick, oily and white grape-like hoppy
Overall: long live the India Pale Lager, definitely a beer style that needs to be broadcasted out to the masses of who like lighter styled beers with some flavor and this one definitely does the job of doing what is needed to be done

Can from Big Trees in Arnold. Clear light gold with small ivory head that fades to a dense collar of small bubbles. Aroma is dank with slight tropical fruit. Flavor is balance of dank and fruit, with strong malt backbone. Rounded mouthfeel adds very nice texture. Solid.

Happy Hour pint in the Beach Hut Deli half a mile from my daughters house on 5th August 2025. Poured very cold into a frosted glass, so no aroma or taste for a while as I sat waiting for it to warm a little. Clear and clean golden body, lasting white crown on top. Citrus fruit forward in the aroma and taste, dank and piney in places, decent malty base and a very pleasant hoppy beer once warmed up.
