I don't see a date listed on the label or can.
Appearance: The body is very hazy and nearly opaque with a dull orange-brown color. The head is very short, white, and coats the surface like a film of bubbles with some bald spots. It has no real retention but the film leaves a nice curve of lacing on the glass.
Aroma: There's not a lot of aroma going on here. It has a bit of a cabbage scent with some garlic but even that is very light.
Taste: Similar to the aroma there's not a lot going on with the flavor here. There is a bit of a biscuit flavor and a touch of character that comes from the oil outside of hop bines. What limited flavor there is, tastes watered down.
Mouthfeel: Watered down with very low bitterness.
Overall: From the label, this is "A Socially Distanced Collaboration brewed with our friends at Hopfly Brewing Company in Rocky Mount, NC." The can states that this is a "West Coast India Pale Ale" but it tastes nothing like a West Coast IPA. The flavors and aromas are weak and there is no real bitterness. It's closer to a standard pale ale in form but even then it is below average in aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. I wouldn't recommend it as a whole and I wouldn't drink it again.
