Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

16 oz. can. Aroma is mango, guava, and passionfruit like esters. Flavor follows and has an extremely juicy texture with almost no bitterness. Soft bread like malt background. This is the Prototypical New England IPA.

16 oz. Can. Flavor shows mild herb and citrus with a hint of charred grain. Bitterness is moderate. Respectable body and texture. Very subtle pine. No resin. Drinks well. Overall, as it should be.

16 oz can traded by Clarkvv, thanks?? Full disclaimer, I don’t enjoy smoked malt. The only thing I find in the aroma is light campfire. Thankfully the flavor has a little more going on. Honey grain, bread, minerals, and of course smoke.

16 oz can traded by Clarkvv, thanks buddy. Aroma is bold orange, pomegranate, and mild tequila. Flavor pops with pomegranate and some sweet orange. Moderate tequila finish. I am not a fan of tequila at all. That said, this has enough orange and pomegranate to make it extremely balanced.

16 oz can traded by Clarkvv, thanks buddy. Deep green color. Aroma is pineapple, lime, and soft passionfruit. Flavor follows with a pretty steady, soreness in the finish. I never had the Pukiki cocktail before. Very similar to a Blue Hawaiian cocktail.

16 oz can. Aroma has soft white bread with orange and over ripe tangerine. Flavour follows with the addition of peach and a touch of white wine. Plenty of fruit with a very subtle herbal hop in the finish. Not very bitter at all. But just enough for a little bit of balance. Very well constructed.

16 oz can traded by tfontana, thank you Tom. Aroma is mild vanilla and strong marshmallow. Flavor shows mild roasted malt with the vanilla and bold marshmallow. The one negative as it does have some sugar in the finish. If they let that ferment out a little bit more, this might be special.

16 oz can. Aroma has bold white grape, straw, peach. Flavor has a very mild sweetness that shows a mega ton of peach and white grape. Maybe a touch of apricot. This is superior in the world of triples. The 10% is completely hidden. Drinks like a 6% IPA. Very soft texture. Wow!

16 oz can. Aroma has soft tropical fruit, mango, passion fruit-ish. Flavor shows peach, mango, passion fruit. The hops shine with very little bitterness. Medium body with a smooth texture. Lightly chewy. Real, real good!
