Can at home, can't remember where I got this tbh. It pours clear golden - blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh popcorn, sweet white bread, rice crackers, damp grass and floral accents. The taste is crispy, dry, some green grassy bitterness, leafy, herbal, floral, rice cakes, grainy, underlying sweetness and a touch of rawness with a damp rice on the finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Not bad for what it is.

Can picked up from Brewdoge. New hops this year. It likes ear oily yellow with a small white cap. The aroma is super oily, sappy, resinous, hops oils, weedy, dank, spring onions garlic and pine. The taste is slick, oily, sappy, resinous, piney, green, weedy, dank, super saturated, restrained bitterness compared to previous years, hop oil, dried citrus peel, lemon, lime and grapefruit with a drying, slick mouth feel. Medium body and fine carbonation. It's interesting and enjoyable, but I miss the punchy bitterness, not that it is sweet.

Bottle thanks to my brother. It pours jet black a small tan head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet character, oily, dark roasted malt, umami, burnt toast, liquorice, jammy, vanilla, bourbon, dried fruits, fruit & nut chocolate and rocky road. The taste is slick, oily, super sweet, heavy, jammy, vanilla, tangy, toasted coconut, bourbon soaked oak, toasty vibes, warming booze, sugary, toasted brown sugar, maltesers, mars bar, toffee, caramel, banana bread and milky coffee with a toasty finish. Fulsome body, light carbonation and oily mouth feel. Fun elements to it, but super heavy and super sweet, overly so on my opinion. Probably not a summer ale.
