16 oz can from the brewery, 10/5/25 (canned 10/2/25). Big Congrats to Brendan, Scott, Steve, and the rest of the AE team on their 5th Anniversary! Pours a fully hazy orange color with a large, foamy, and frothy white head that leaves heavy lacing on the glass. Tons of hop flavor, with some juicy tropical hops (mango, passion fruit, papaya), some pineapple/ pine, and some white grape all coming through. Bit of that heavy hop oil / green hop thing on the flavor profile, but otherwise it's just bold and extra hop forward. Not much not to like here, curious to see if a week or two longer in the can settles it a bit, bit it's damn good right now.

12 oz can from the brewery, 10/2/25. Slightly cloudy rusty yellow color with a fizzy white head. Lemon, grains, orange juice, melon notes, light spice. Tingly feel. Slightly thin. Decent overall.
