Here's another Monkish review from the late February 2022 visit. Bought a case, this was 4 of the cans.
Pours a foggy hazy appearance. I get jokes. Head size was a smallish 1/4". The aroma popped very nicely of those proprietary hops, orange, pineapple, tangerine, papaya, pine and finally, a little bit of that Nelson weed dankness. The Nelson aspect seemed overshadowed by Citra and Galaxy, but not entirely absent.
The taste was a crusher, ample waves of juicy dank hop resin all over it. The orange citrus tangerine light pink grapefruit played very well. Never harsh, acidic, hop burn, just drinks really good. Sure there are hundreds of beers just like this but that sounds like a good problem to have. Angie is on the jukebox. Sounds like a live version, probably that Stripped album.
This beer delivers top notch waves of hoppy goodness. Sawft carbonation, silky yet not trubby, has enough bittering hops to not be milky, I like it, highly recommend.

Canned 02/15/18, ‘LIL SOGGY’.
Pours a beautiful hazy orange, with a frothy bubbling white head of foam with not too much retention as it fades away.
The nose is nice on this, with a nice pineapple and mango presence, but with distinct bitter citrus as well. It’s got a great juicy balance. Slight dankness.
The hop bitterness comes through right away, and is met with a present tang, complimented again by pineapple and tropical fruit. It’s got a grassy/earthy quality to it as well. On the mellower side, but very nice.
The body is soft, with a low carb and a very juicy finish. Not too much stickiness, but it briefly leaves a thin film around your mouth.
