Undated can drunk 7/25/26.
Smells like fresh, floral pine needles as it's being poured. But doesn't smell overly resinous/acidic, and there is a healthy backing of white bread-like malt to balance. The pine rather unusual for I7, though I'm guessing there's a lot more boiled I7 than whirlpooled. Citra not very notable here, but that's fine.
Nice and malty with good attenuation. Honey and white bread-like notes are rich and supple to balance the big pine character. Acidity never gets out-of-hand, yet nor does it become too malty. Just a nice, flavorful, balanced pils.

Tavour: pours gold with white head. Aroma has Idaho 7 notes pretty heavily, which I can live without, citrusy and plenty of pine. Taste is rather bitter, easy to drink, crispy. Solid.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Bright medium gold pour. Pillowy white head. Fruity aromas of citrus, peach and melon. First sip brings pithy notes of grapefruit and lime. Light biscuity malt is balanced by the peppery, spicy hops. Resiny notes from the Idaho 7 comes through on the backend. Dry finish.

Still black pour. Huge nose of chocolate and bourbon. Thick, syrupy taste and texture. That taste totally overwhelms any oak or malt note. Catching some marshmallow, but coconut just blends into the texture. I admit, I like the bourbon over the expected stout flavor.

Draught @ Monochrome brewing taproom, Chicago IL (Sept 2025). Extremely hazy dull yellow with a small foamy off-white head, faint citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter pineapple-grapefruit peel taste, thin body, long grapefruit finish. Good flavors, a solid NEIPA.

Sampled from bottle by the brewer at Orange and Brew. Pink like watermelon juice. At least a few bubbles. Even smells like watermelon juice, then there’s some Strawberry here, too. The watermelon itself is not what makes this sour. Seems like the passion fruit plays that part.

What the hell are Grungiest hops? Oh, "grun-GEIST", as in "green ghost."\
Well, in the glass, they bring a nose of big pineapple and grapefruit. Opaque hazy yellow with a touch of foam around the edge. Ah, and then some resin, too. This had more malt to back up its hop overload. As with the nose, it's full of grapefruit, orange and pineapple. Still has room for a “beer taste” of dry and malty hours. This one's malts are a much better balance, plus the extra alcohol they bring in.

Taster, because, come on! Combo color of milk and orange juice in the glass. Catbox smell of APA hops just assaults the nose. You like? Maybe I don't. But it is what it is.
Taste; almost like a hop water, at least the Lagunitas version. My tiny taster may not have brought in enough taste to let the malts settle in.
