Loaded up like a lightning rod of lupulin, this celebratory IPA is full of dank aromas and bold citrus, mango, and pine flavors. Proof that God wants us to be hoppy!

Fat Head's Brewery "Benjamin Danklin"
12 fl. oz. can "CANNED ON 05/05/23" and sampled on 06/30/23
$7/12 oz. can @ Union Jack's Pub, Philadelphia, PA

Look: Hazy deep amber beneath a short head of white foam. Very good head retention and lacing.
Smell: Citrusy with some other tropical fruits, earthy, "dank" and resinous, and piney.
Taste: Malty and lightly caramelish with notes of tangerine, grapefruit, earthiness, resin, pine, apricot, pineapple, and mango. 76 IBUs balances it and brings it to a dry finish with notes of pine, grass, herbs, and spice.
Feel: Medium bodied with a standard, crisp carbonation.
Overall: A nicely done, well rounded and balanced IPA with a lot of character.

Wonderful juicy stone fruit aromas. This one seems sweeter than the Wet-Hopped with a similar IBU and stone fruit profile. Definitely worth a try!

Canned 05/24/22 Benjamin Danklin pours a clear golden color with a thick head that smell delicious. Closely reminds me of yesterdays Strange Magic. The smell is very nice hops and malt. The taste is citrus and floral with a hint of pine that lingers. Also a little crispy. Mouthfeel is smooth and cold. Some piney bitterness lingers. Overall another hit from Fat Heads.

12oz can canned 5/11/22 into a pint glass.
L: Pours mainly clear bright caramel color w/a 1" creamy eggshell white head w/good retention, good carbonation, loose sheeting, banding & lacing.
S: Sweet malts, light citrus, very light dankness.
T: Richly sweet caramel malts, a stern amount of lightly dank hops, a hint of bead crust, light honey, light yeast, a suggestion of cookie dough, pine resin in the medium-length finish. It is clean & earthy tasting.
F: Semi-juicy, crisp, clean, medium-bodied mouthfeel w/a fast finish and a light linger. It is gently sticky feeling.
O: An incredibly clean drinking and tasting American IPA. Superior drinkability for it's 7.4% ABV with no alcohol detected in aroma or taste. Not as dank as it's name implies with my rating of 3.5 of 10 on the Dank-O-Meter. It is dignified, delicious and fun and is excellent in it's style.

Super dank, resinous and refreshing. I'm at the point where some of their IPA's are tasting similar but at least they're all still good. I like this one more than Head hunter though by a smidge
