Brew Cocky
2nd Shift Brewing

I picked this up in a four pack of can's at the Brewery in late 2025. the beer is a lightly hazy golden/orange color with a tall, soapy head. The aroma has a nice mix of fruity and herbal hops...citrus and earthiness. The taste has a sweetness in front that balances out by the mid-taste and finishes with a lot of fruit flavor. Lingering juicy hop flavors. Medium-full in body. Wonderfully complex and interesting.

pretty sure i read this is the last batch of these from 2nd shift, so glad i'm finally getting to try it out. loads of hops indeed. dumped from a trusty can a mostly clear amber, with a big white head that has slowly shrunk to a decent sized foam cap, bits of sticky lacing behind. nose is absolutely huge, with a ton of grapefruit, pine and almost honey like sweetness. exactly what i want from an ipa like this. sadly that doesn't quite come through in flavor, with the same grapefruit, pine, honey and caramel sweetness, and a hop bitterness that cuts down on some of that sweet malt. never gets overpowering but on the same note is a little too subdued. medium bodied and nicely carbonated, this is way too drinkable for being 9% and probably bordering dangerous for me
