Backlog March 2008. Bottle. Reddish amber body under a big, foamy off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, citric hops and alcohol. Taste is very sweet and malty with caramel, some alcohol and rather bitter. Balanced in body but otherwise I feel this beer is a bit messy with just a lot of everything. Too sweet, too boozy and bitterness out of balance.

Are almost are lots of grapefruit and MJ with some malt. Flavors are similar to nose and on the sweet side. A little too sweet for me. Carbonation helps cut the sweet but not enough.

12 oz cans from Publix Oviedo FL. Looks like a trad IPA in the glass, light chill haze, golden to copper, medium head. Nose hints at resin, sweat sock, onions. Flavor similar but also some grapefruit rind and something semi-dank. Semi-sweet lightly caramelized malt profile, biscuity maybe. Medium bitter finish. Nice to see a trad IPA on the market, but in that tradition, this sits squarely in the middle of the road.

Can from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours hazy grapefruit juice gold with a large white head. POG aroma. Med body. Tingly texture. Juicy but not very sweet. Bitter enough to be pleasing. It has a tingle that could be either pineapple or passion fruit. Very nice flavor.

Can from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours slightly hazy gold with a small white head. Aroma suggests dank resin and guava. Med plus body. Juicy but not very sweet. Bitter for sure with dank resin, grapefruit, and a light touch of guava. Some melon. Excellent flavor.
gave a cheers!

This brew is a clear straw-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus, pineapple and wheat. Medium to full body with flavors of canned pineapple, floral wheat, pineapple and malt. Minimal hop presence if this is supposed to be an IPA. The finish is like a canned Tiki alcoholic seltzer. Just average overall.

12 oz. can from Publix. Pours a hazy gold color with a thick ivory head and great retention. Very good lacing too. Mixed pine and pineapple aroma. The taste is similar to the aroma: Grapefruit notes up front with piney hops in the finish. Mellow bitterness for 48 IBUs. And the 8.0% ABV is pretty well hidden too. Not my style, but MUCH better than their Hazicus Maximus. Medium body and medium carbonation. Restrained bitterness.

12 oz. can from Publix. Pours a hazy deep gold color with a khaki head and very good retention. Good lacing. Grapefruit juice aroma. A little grapefruit flavor that's quickly washed away by the 9.0% ABV finish. For a hazy IPA, the flavor is more chemical versus juicy. Is that from the terpenes? Orange sherbert and stonefruit notes? No! At least the 65 IBUs are more hidden than I expected. Medium body. Oily texture. Medium-light carbonation. Moderate bitterness. Tick.
gave a cheers!
