[12oz bottle from Beer52.] An oily black pour with a fast fading chocolate coloured head; aroma of cocoa powder; dry and oily in the mouth with a dark chocolate taste; and a bitter but creamy finish. Excellent.

Ridiculously hazy deep copper and pale golden coloured body with a very thick, four to five centimetre tall tan head that fades fast and leaves a very ugly lace. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, light funk and a dash of pepper and very bitter hop (traditional) notes - very nice and pungent. Light to Medium-bodied; Relatively soft fruit flavours of grass, oranges, citrus and tropical fruit notes with a dry and hay bitterness with a very small malt backbone and very dry and floral bite at the end, without any sugars nor tropical fruit notes! Aftertaste is clean, but very dry and super mild with pepper and herbal notes, a bitter and piney character and only a touch of citrus and fruits - no real depth in flavours or balance. Overall, this one starts out so well, with a great scent, beautiful hazy look, but the flavour and palate are underwhelming and the dry notes are good, but not akin to the style! Good to try fresh, but not worth grabbing, unless you need to fill a mixed six pack, like I did! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Food Lion in Oak Hall, Virginia on 14-June-2020 for US$1,67 sampled at my house here, just two days later, in Washington on 16-June-2020.

Bottle from Beer52. Deep gold with a light fizz and a thin white head. Peachy notes up front then some pine and orangey fruitiness. Some sweet caramel. Slightly dry and bitter in the crisp finish. Pleasant.

12 fl oz (355ml) bottle, via Beer52. Drank at home on 2nd Jun 2020, during the virus Lock In. Clean and clear golden amber pour, white bubbles on top. Dank hop aroma with some bready malts in the background. Maltiness more to the fore in the taste, dank hops still there though for some balance. Others have mentioned 'a citrus flavour or aroma', I didn't pick any of that up. Great that we're all different!

12 fl oz (355ml) bottle, via Beer52. Liked this. Old gold/amber body, lasting white crown on top. Piney nose and taste, fairly bitter and hoppy throughout, wouldn't know a cactus flavour if it came out and bit me but there was a slight sweetness below the surface of the hop centric flavours.

Tight white head stayed on dark gold body. Stone fruit aroma. Medium bodied, gassy over the tongue with cloying back. Stone fruit, light hops, light malt & tangy fruit tastes. Standard.

[12oz bottle from Beer52.] A bright amber pour with a thin white head; aroma of pine resin, honey and agave; full malty taste with a resinous bitterness. A nicely balanced IPA with a trace of agave syrup in the finish.

Bottle from Beer52. Deep brown-black with virtually no head and a very light fizz. Smooth, slightly sweet chocolate with a hint of liquorice and a lovely light smokeyness leading to a light dryness in the smooth finish. Thought this was very nice.
