473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy wheat malt, lemon and floral hops. Sweet flavour matches aroma with grainy wheat malt, lemon and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter, slightly acidic finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, but pretty basic.

clear copper pour, small off white head.
aroma of bready, biscuit malts, and some very earthy, slightly piney hops. the body is ok, and the carb is normal. the finish is again, very earthy. pretty boring stuff, not what i would consider and IPA. Perhaps the bottle is old, but i cant tell, there is no date on it.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg Nov 14, 2024 - 10.2% abv listed - 2024 vintage on can label). Very dark amber brown with small beige head. Caramel and toffee malt with phenolic band aid notes peaking through in parts, a touch boozy, feint bread crust, thinner medium body. Wondering if this is a batch issue or it just turned quickly. The phenolic note is minimal so if you're not sensitive to it, you can probably look past it.
