12 oz. bottle pkgd 02/14/23
Pours a foggy slightly hazy amber orange with a dense creamy white foam head. Smells like melon, tropical and citrus fruits, orange, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, guava, peach, apricot, toasty caramel, bready malt, tea, pepper, and dank resinous herbal earthy grassy pine. Tastes like toasty caramel, bready malts, toffee, melon, tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, guava, peach, apricot, orange citrus, grapefruit, tea, pepper, with dank resinous herbal earthy grassy pine. Feels medium bodied, creamy smooth with moderate carbonation. Overall a really nice IPA.

Good IPA, but expected more dank from the name.

12oz can from Hops & Bottles. Clear golden pour, ring of foamy head. Aroma is hoppy, woody. Taste is more resiny hops, mild dankness, sticky, light dryness.. not as hoppy as I would have guessed from the name.

12oz bottle. For bottling date, label is stamped '01/03/23'.
Nearly clear, medium amber colored body. Three fingers of white head upon pouring, with the white head surviving to the end. Leaves behind ring and web lacing.
Aroma is sparse. Background of dank pine and toasted malts.
Taste has a base of toasted bread malts, also some caramel. Hop flavors are dank herb and pine bitterness. Dank herb and citrus pith in the aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel. Drying at the bitter end. Very good carbonation.
True to its directive.

Came with 4 of these as part of a variety pack. Very fresh, less than a month old. Fairly well-rounded IPA from SN again, but the mouthfeel and finish were a bit rougher than I'd prefer. Rates better than I thought, perhaps I'll try again.

Bought a 6-pack cans $8.99 Don Quijote
60 days old
Smell of pine
Amber color
Medium mouthfeel
Medium carbonation
Taste of pine, resin, pakalolo
Overall it delivers on its name. No finesse, just straightforward one-note intense flavor and not in a bad way. Would like to try this fresher.
