Hop Cartel - The Chron
Levante Brewing Company

Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a slightly hazy golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of citrus, tropical fruits. Taste is oranges, grapefruit, light mango. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall is a quality beer.

 

Poured into a wide mouth grip shaped goblet: color is gold, dense haziness, head is off white with fine bubbles and presents 1/2 inch thick, head dissipates to thin top, spotty lacing.

Smell is mixed citrus pith, juice, and light tropicals, light booziness.

Taste is more mixed citrus pith, juice, light tropicals; particular notes are grapefruit, light orange, some stonefruit; malt is light biscuit but backing to the fruit and moderate sweetness.

Mouthfeel is low/moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, slow rising but moderate bitterness.

Overall a sweeter, mild juicy, slightly boozy HDIPA - more hazy than expected and juicier than a DIPA of the past.

 

From an undated 16oz can into a weizen glass. Can message: "Munchies Required" I don't understand how you can put a message on the bottom of the can but no date...Also ABV is listed as 8% on the can.

Pours an opaque yellowish brown with about one and a half fingers of white head. Decent lacing and retention.

Smells of oranges, grapefruit, apricot, cantaloupe and melon.

Taste follows. Sweet juice followed by light bitterness with juice dominating.

Soft, full-bodied mouthfeel. Light bitter aftertaste. Medium carbonation.

I mean, this is pretty well made, but doesn't seem to stand out in any way.
