Luxury! This beer's got it. Sharp, clean lines. Elegant in appearance, with a body as comfortable as sofas. Ok we might have altered the 1981 advertisement for this car into beerspeak, but we seriously encourage you to take a dip into this fluffy concoction of El Dorado and Strata hops.

Pours a cloudy yellow, with a generous foam cap that has some staying power.
Light aroma. Some bubblegum on the palate, mixed in there.
There’s a pronounced hop burn on this, even after a week and change since canning. Honestly, a disappointment.

L: pours a muddy yellow haze with minimal foam and lacing.
S: I get melon, orange/citrus with some notes of the alcohol.
T: strong citrus flavor with definite taste of the alcohol (which I personally enjoy) but not overpowering or to much. Some sweetness follows on the backend.
F: has a good feel and medium dryness to it, lighter on the carbonation.
O: I love the car series from ASB as I am partial to double hazy IPAs. This one is another stellar DIPA. This achieves the hazy look, wonderful smells and amazing taste you expect from ASB.

L: Yellow/light orange pineapple juice look, tiny head with no retention or lacing.
S: Full, bright, juicy mix of melons, white peaches, strawberries & tropical fruits. Man I really like this aroma, even huffin' out of the empty can.
T: Very zesty mix of juiciness with some dank weedy hop flavor as well.
Feel is smooth & creamy with a bit of a lively hop bite that I like the more I drink. Sort of like an alternative to the bitterness, which is low along with the carbonation.
Overall, so glad I waited a few weeks on this one, wish I did the same for Sunny Hours. All of the hop aromas and flavors are still huge and fresh with much less of the bite raking your mouth & throat against the coals.
