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.
Bright aroma of tangy sweet hops. Slightly tart bite that transitions to smooth fruity hop taste. Leaves you with hints of sweet malt and slightly chalky yeast. Cleans palate with a dryness then lingering hops/yeast on a minute level. Too tart & drying.
Canned 1/13/2026, drank on 1/31/2026, so very fresh.
Thick dark licorice-like aroma. Heavy chocolate flavor that’s chunky on the palate. Fades to general dark malt flavor, them lingering sugary sweetness.
Mild aroma of dark chocolatey malts. Tweaks the palate with dryness from the yeast and quickly fills in with clean dark malt flavors. Finishes fairly clean with hints of dark chocolate lingering on the edges.
Nice aroma of bright hops. Smooth on the palate, but strong dank hop bitterness builds from back of palate. Becomes more rounded in hop flavor, but leaves lingering bitterness with some yeast flavor.
Dark malt aroma, but not overpowering or sweet. Slightly crisp on the palate, but scatters in all directions without leaving a strong taste. Moderate dark malt taste in background with hints of light hops and a mild yeast taste.
Fresh aroma of flowery hops and smooth caramel malts. Flavor of hop bitterness is quickly squashed by a full-palate fruit flavor, that finishes slightly thick and sticky with some dry hop flavor lingering in the background. Your mouth recognizes it just had a full flavored beer, but there’s surprisingly little to no heaviness left in the mouth.
Smell of slightly dark, sweet malts. Taste is crisp and then malt sweetness rushes in. Finishes very dry, with hints of dark malts lingering in the back of the mouth.
Strong sweet aroma of fruit and a sweet treat. Flavor has a crisp bite from hops intermixed with malt and yeast, that gives saliva glands a kick and immediately becomes mouth-watering. Aftertaste is a mild one of hops in background with a bit of mild malt taste. Overall finish is very dry.
Nice clean aroma of bitter hops. Crisp hop bitterness on front of palate work a cleansing attack. Mike caramel malt hidden in background behind layers of hop flavor and bitterness. Lingering hip bitterness intermixed with a slight yeast twang. Superb.
This can is 3 months old.
