473 mL can from the brewery; dated Oct 2 2024 and served barely chilled.
Pours cloudy and turbid as hell, its pale yellow-hued body graced with less than a finger of loose, foamy white head that collapses within a minute. A sickly thin collar is the only remnant of note; it kind of looks like orange juice. There's also orange on the nose, but it's less prominent than the notes of mango, lemon and apricot. Hints of passion fruit and dank, earthy hops, too.
The flavour profile is interesting and unique, plus it masks that 8.5% exceptionally well. I'm getting apricot, mango, orange juice and lemon peel, as well as hints of strawberry smoothie and passion fruit. Dank, earthy hops and pine resin bitterness develop on the back end, with hints of ethanol, stone fruit and tropical fruit echoing into the aftertaste. Full-bodied, with low carbonation and a smooth, juicy & fulfilling mouthfeel that improves this DIPA's drinkability considerably. I wish I had another can, but I have to work tomorrow, so it's probably for the best that I don't.
Final Grade: 4.28, an A-. I think it's safe to say that A DIPA We Made With All My Friends is one of the better double IPAs I've had this year, and perhaps even the outright best. Well above the competition in almost every respect - I guess you could argue that the visuals aren't especially aesthetically pleasing, but is that actually a problem for me? Nope. A very strong collaborative effort - now I'm interested in seeking out and trying some All My Friends beers.

I hope this one is a good one from Belwwods, 'cause lately I haven't had anything solid from them. This one is a collab with All My Friends from Prince Edward County. I heard of the county, not the brewery.
The pour is nice and thick, almost orange juice like. The head isn't too obtrusive. Lovely look overall. The nose is also nice, with some sweetness to it. Citrus and honey.
A very nice tasting beer with strong wood and earthy tones, along with apricot. Quite a dry finish. Slightly boozy on the end notes.
Okay, this can be marked down as a success.

473ml can served cold into a beer mug. Brewery purchase and canned October 2, 2024.
Appearance - Stupendously hazy, juice like white gold brew in color. A small three quarter finger is poured and coalesces on top.
Smell - Big juicy fruity notes with orange and papaya and an array of stone fruit accompanying.
Taste - Some dankness and weediness up front, hints of orange and other tropical fruits before some apricot shines through. Some bitterness up front and fades into sweetness from the fruits.
Mouthfeel - Super juice bomb, soft carbonation, easy to drink and the ABV is well disguised, maybe too well.
Overall - Very drinkable, very tasty and overall just an excellent DIPA that I'd like to share with all my friends.
