Brassy orange gold with a thin fizzy head and mildly tart herbal aroma. Medium bodied and very dry. The flavor is where you get the Irish moss, herbs, kelp and sea salt. Very interesting flavor profile that’s kind of floral fruity pot pourri like then tart and salty with the kelp minerality and flavor popping up in the after taste. Pretty good and really interesting. Now I want to watch the Usual Suspects.

Well priced six pack from local grocer had to jump. Ruby dirty amber pour minimal head. Nose is dried fruits and faint caramel. Tastes of dates, prunes, caramel, earth, wood, plum and cherry. Medium bodied. Kinda slick.

Refrigerated pint can, September 3, 2021 poured into a glass. Clear blue with small head. Aroma is blueberry, medium body, low carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is blueberry, tart lemon, and salt.

12oz bottle. Pretty enjoyable Bierre de Garde, truer than I anticipated. Deep caramel malt tone. Smooth and true mouthfeel and tone. Mild spice tones perhaps, but well incorporated. Good stuff.

Aged two years, plum flavor was not very apparent after that much time.

Fairly hazy deep golden, orange, peach and raw honey coloured body with a very thin, barely single centimetre tall pure white head that fades quickly to just a thin layer after a few seconds. Aroma of grass, hay, flowers, dank and resinous hops with a little note of candy and some grapefruit, too. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong dry and very herbal flavours show at first with a ton of grassiness and a small amount of pineapple and tropically flavours with a light touch of bitterness from the hops, but not very strong there. Aftertaste is basically crisp, dry, herbal, slightly perfumey and fairly straight-forward with a mellow touch of bitterness from the alpha acids of the hops, but it's not the primary set of flavours here. Overall, dry and grassy, like 'Hay' from the name, but this isn't juicy, not like a New England IPA at all, despite actually being from New England, and it's barely unfiltered - this is passable at best. Decent enough to try, but if I could do it again, I'd pass this one up entirely! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia on 26-February-2021 for US$4,99, labelled 'Best Before' 27-July-2021, sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-February-2021.

Bottle at the early November DC Ratebeer tasting. Poured a slightly yellow color with a fizzy, foamy white head. Aroma was sweet notes, with fruity acidic notes. Big tartness.
