Thanks to Ozzylizard for this one from his NBS BIF #14 box. 16oz can (born on 6/24/21, best by 7/24/21) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a fully muddy, murky, and turbid dark orange color with just under an inch of lightly off-white head that had moderate retention and light lacing.

The aroma was dominated by the expected frooty hops, no real grain malt backbone, with some citrus seemingly the most forward.

Same on the tongue, very frooty/no malt, with the addition of a wee touch of bitterness. There was also some alcohol present.

The body was fairly typical for the style, medium-light, was mostly smooth (although a touch of coarseness was present across the palate), and had some alcohol burn on the finish.

Drinkability was OK, although the overall blandness, combined with the alcohol, made it somewhat of a chore to get through.

Overall, a below average example of the style. YMMV.

 

 

Opaque OJ orange with a uniformly short off-white head settling to a thin ring.

Despite its stronger ABV than the glass of Names Are Hard I'm having next to it, this is much more subtle and enjoyable, exhibiting spicy and tingly tropical fruits bolstered by a graham malt. Digging in, there are also notes of Orange Julius, while remaining semi-bitter with citrus rinds and biting cannabis.

The fluffy medium round body finishes lightly chewy dry.

 

Really excellent and citrusy aroma. It's much more hazy than we expected and almost like a milkshake IPA. Surprising sweet, Dave says it tastes like spiked OJ... That'd be a screwdriver. Definite OJfrom the get go and grapefruit on the end. Enjoyed at the brewery in New Kensington, 9/11/2020, part of the Laurel Highlands Pour Tour.
