12 oz 2022 can served in a Belgian snifter.
Appearance. Pours with a good white head over an amber body.
Like a number of the other Advent beers, this Minhas product has a surprisingly string note of caramel malts. This lowers the bitterness and masks the expected fruity hops (if present). The result, however, is tasty and very drinkable.

Hazy/cloudy amber color with a substantial and persistent off white head, some decent lacing. The aroma is citrus and pine resin, sweet light caramel malt.
The taste is grapefruit some hints of tropical fruits but overpowered by the grapefruit so I can't really identify anything, the finish dries out a bit with plenty of pine resin, actually not bad.
The body is light, plenty of lively carbonation but still very drinkable.
Altogether this is a pretty decent IPA but much more West Coast rather than New England, The expected juiciness is barely there.

Poured from a 12oz can
On the pour 3 fingers of white head formed on top of a slightly hazy/murky dark brass body. carbonation is plentiful. Spidery lacing after a few sips.
Aroma is very sweet, but not quite as off as the other beers so far. There is a light fruity hoppiness in the back resembling grapefruit, but DMS is blocking my enjoyment of that.
Taste is decent actually. The sweetness works with the fruity hops which stay surprisingly crisp. There is a definite bitterness which I appreciate. There is also actually malty grainy flavors I can detect unlike the past 3 advent beers. The DMS does poke its head out for a second and at first it comes off like they used way too much crystal malt, but honestly this is the best of the lot so far.
Feel is surprisingly drinkable, and not nearly as syrupy as expected. Long finish but it stays crisp and dry. I wish the sweetness didnt linger in the finish but this is the most balanced in taste and feel. High carbonation.
Overall this beer pack has kindof turned into a novelty for me, but this one is at least half decent, so maybe these beers will keep improving.

Appearance: Hazy golden yellow, with a large, dense and persistent off-white head.
Aroma: Massive aroma of herbal and floral hops; there are pale malt notes, but they are largely subsumed by the hops.
Taste: On tasting, there is a very strong surge of herbal hops, this carries throughout the taste. The pale malt presence struggles to be noticed against the hops, it presents only a slight sweetness. As the taste draws to a close the hops present as grapefruit rind and pine tar. These linger on well past the end of the taste.
Mouth feel: Very full and soft, with delicate carbonation.
Drinkability/notes: A very well-made example of an IPA, a treat for hop aficionados.
Presentation: Packaged on a standard twelve-ounce aluminum, served in a La Fin du Monde tulip. Beer number four from the Sam's Club Beer Advent calendar.

Alright this is decent but I would say this is a regular IPA, not New England IPA. It's quite hoppy but lacks the juicy part. Being in Iowa, we have awesome NE IPA from toppling Goliath and this is obviously nothing like those. Regardless, this one was pleasant to drink.
