16 ounce can.Aroma is grapefruit, soft pine. Flavor is a bit of everything. Pine, floral, grapefruit, maybe pineapple. Pretty juicy. Soft bitterness. Real good

Bottle, Wegmans. Hazy orange-brown with floaties and a sewage-water head. Raspberry, apricot, peach... all tart aromas. Flavor is tart raspberry, apricot skin, green leaf, wheat. Bitter, not sour... not a hint of sweetness in this (and I think it needs it). Also has a plasticy aftertaste. The word going through my mind right now is yuck.

Wegman's can. Hazy to murky orange with a small off-white head. Rotting trash, citrus, pineapple... not the greatest aroma. Pineapple, orange peel, resin, some other odd funky fruit. Not my favorite, but totally drinkable.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and pure orange coloured body with a thick, but relatively fast-dying tan head that ends at about three centimetres in height. Aroma of flowers, grass, light nuts, earth and some light piney and toffee notes with a dose of bread near the end and some yeast, and the alcohol is noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich floral and grassy hops show at first, but then a chewy malt is present with nuts, earth and some grain. Aftertaste shows a very light touch of pineapple, mangoes and perhaps papaya with a lot of residual sugars in the form of fructose and some syrupy resin. Overall, a deep and balanced Imperial IPA, in the style of the way they 'used' to make them, with a definite East Coast slant, but nice to sample around here, and not a while not really a bad option, just not amazing. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 12-September-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-September-2020.

22oz bottle. Poured a dark smooth motor-oil color with a small brown head. Velvety. Aroma was huge coffee notes, roasted chocolate. Super solid coffee character, perhaps overpowering, but the coffee is so good, it really makes its mark on this one. Super solid stuff.

2/1/2021. Bottle courtesy of SHIG, cheers! Pours very dark brown with a small bubbly off-white to beige head. Aroma of malt, milk chocolate, caramel, coffee, lactose. Medium plus sweetness and light roasted bitterness. Moderate body, rather watery, average carbonation. Nice aroma but not much otherwise.
