No date code on can. Aroma is citrus, celery, and some light grassy hints. Flavor has bright citrus right up front with mild grassy and celery hints in the finish. Very low bitterness. Kind of better than I was anticipating.

12 ounce can. Pours a orange hue with a large white head. A really nice fresh hop citrus nose. Fresh fruity hops, light ginger, caramel, sort of tastes like a old school Celebration style IPA which I am very happy about. Quite nice.

No date coding any place. Pitch black appearance. Flavor of chocolate, dark fruit, has a creamy texture. The booze is mostly hidden. Good roasted body. A well made, classic imperial stout.

No date coding any place. Hazy deep golden color. In my half a dozen brews with cashmere hops, it always gives me a mint or perfume note. The perfume is low in the flavor but odd for sure. Citrus and star anise. Lighter body. The cashmere is an odd duck.

Can from the sharing table at the meeting last night, thanks to whomever brought it. Deep amber with a creamy off white head that persists. Rich bready light caramel malt and then too many spices.
