Mild fruity and dank hop aroma. Soft hop bite followed by super strong flavor mix of hops. Aftertaste is danky and resinous. A ton of heavy hop flavors, but you don’t really taste the alcohol of the 9.0%.
Faint sweet aroma, almost like light fruit. Slight crispness, with sweet malt flavor and tasteful but not bitter hops. Drying effect on palate from yeast on the back end, finishing fairly dry, but a broad sweet fruity flavor with hints of bitterness in the background.
Somewhat strong sweet hop aroma. Slightly tart tang up front, followed by an in-rush of heavy juice flavor. Can taste the alcohol, buried in pale malt flavor. Aftertaste has lingering moderate hop bitterness.
Slightly sweet aroma, with hints of dark malts. Fairly thick and sticky on the palate with a crispness that comes in to clear things out. Eventually a sweetness comes in with hints of dark malts again and lingers. Strange combination of dark sweetness and crispness.
Faint fruity aroma. Very smooth on the palate, with a mild peach flavor. Aftertaste has some bitterness, like a combination of the peach flavor and some hop bitterness. This fades and just leaves a mild peach flavor.
Sweet green hop aroma. No harsh hop bite, plenty of green hop flavor. Very hoppy in the flavor, no alcohol burn at all for 8.5% ABV. Little to no aftertaste.
Bright hop aroma with slightly sweet hint from caramel malt. Smooth flavor, no hop bite. Aftertaste comes in with caramel malt taste and a bit of hops.
Canned 9/24/25, drank on 10/11/25 so very fresh.
Carbonation level lets this down, it’s too low.
4 out of 5 stars.
