16oz can
date stamped 12/07/2023
L: hazy yellow-orange body; frothy off/white head fades to a thin layer of foam
S: super juicy aroma hinting at tropical fruit, citrus, fruit punch, creamy lactose
T: sweet lactose and light caramel with hoppy notes of grapefruit, kumquat, pear, peach, mango nectar, pine, white grape, mint
F: medium body, resinous, ample carbonation, dry finishing tart and bitter with plenty of residual sweetness; piney mango and herbal Riwaka linger on the palate
O: any beer with Riwaka hops or Nelson Sauvin I have loved - this was no exception

16 fl oz. can, canned 12/07/23 it looks like. Three week old IPA not so bad I say.. Have tried the regular iteration of Drive Thru Meatballs, but not reviewed sadly.

A: Pale, yellowy, cloudy. Juicy and nectary looking, definitely fresh. Small finger of white suds, excellent scattered lacing.
S: Super herbal, dry, almost chalky... big notes of lemon zest, citrus pith, rind, Herbal, with an almost soft peppercorn / rye kind of aroma..
T: Taste follows - super juicy, smooth, nectary. Lots of orange / lemon / citrus zest, peppery rye flavor
F: Super balanced, smooth, creamy, easy-drinking, modest & crushable 5.9% abv.

Overall, a nice one; would be interested to try the original brew again..

16 oz can into a pint glass.

L: Cloudy pale straw color with a foamy white head that receded rather quickly but left rings of lace.

S: Mango and peach citrus with a hint of vanilla, complemented by floral hops.

T: Mango and orange citrus; hops take on more earthy characteristics.

F: Medium body, good carbonation.
