I don't usually like the lighter colored beers but I did enjoy Accumulation. I think it is that usually, they don't have a lot of taste, just bland with an alcohol bite. But this beer has some taste going for it, maybe a slight tangy citrus style aftertaste, too. I would drink this beer again.

12oz can. Stamped on can bottom is best by date of '20 FEB 2022'.
Medium murky straw colored body. One finger of fluffy white head. Leaves patterns of lacing.
Aroma of citrus and lemon.
Taste is sweet orange, pineapple, and lemon, with a piney bite at the end. Mellow mix in the aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel. Good carbonation.
A nondescript fruity IPA with an end note of pine. Certainly acceptable but hardly memorable.

Got a thick hog on ‘er that’s for sure. Poured into a swimming pool like Mr. Feeny’s feet in that movie, “the graduate”.

12oz can EB date 2/20/22 into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
L: Pours a lightly hazed deep straw yellow with a 2.5 inch lightly sudsy white head with good retention going rocky down to a cap. Minimal lacing and no visible carbonation.
S: Pineapple, stone fruit, grains, yeast, berries, earthy, light esters.
T: Pale malts, light breadiness, yeast, gentle sweetness, lemon rind. The 6.5%ABV is non-existent.
F: Lightly pale, well balanced, clean medium-bodied mouthfeel. It has a clean finish that is moderately fast.
O: Overall considerably light, easy drinking and refreshing. Downright crushable, it drinks and feels like a strong Wit Bier of sorts and is excellent in it's style.

12 ounce can in a sturdy tulip IPA glass. Good until 1/30/2022, fresh.

Foggy golden yellow color with a 1f bright white cap. Sticky foam lacing.

Aromas of bay leaf, light wheat and yeast, and a mild berry mix from the hop blend.

Slightly tropical, pineapple. Wheat and mild herbs and spices.

Light and refreshing. No hop bitterness. Clean lingering wheat and hop flavors.

Very easy drinking and its 6.5% abv comes across gently. An IPA for post wintertime activities, sure!

12oz can poured into Duvel tulip. 30 JAN 2022 printed on bottom of can. So this still has another 3 months left in it. Picked up from grocery store as part of a sixer mixer.

Appearance - Pours large white 3 finger head with good stick. Hazy yellow to the point of opaque body. 4.25

Smell - Light citrus and potato. Maybe that's because I ate chips. Dang, now I can't tell lmao. A little musky and grassy. And floral. 4

Taste - Floral. Balanced. Pleasant. Sweet and bitter. No off notes. 4.25

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied. Head provides a frothy texture even long after the bulk of it has dissipated. 4.5

Overall - Actually fairly decent. Might be worth having again, though not particular interesting or outstanding. Just a solid beer that does the job for the style. 4.25
