No canning date
Appearance: Pours a mostly hazy (20% clarity) light and pale golden color with a moderate white head. SRM of 6. (3.50)
Aroma: Milder aromas of grapefruit, dank citrus and resinous pine. Herbal off the finish. (3.50)
Flavor: Moderate flavors of orange citrus, pineapple, some dank and mango flesh underneath. Slightly herbal off to finish and leans sweet. (3.50)
Feel: Medium bodied low carbonation finishes smooth and slightly sweet. (3.50)
Compared to BlackStack Water Pipes 6/2023: Pours identical, milder aromas. More herbal and dank notes. Less grapefruit, OJ, mango. Sweeter and less carbonation. Winner: Water Pipes
Compared to Luce Line Foggy Bottom 6/2023: Pours lighter, milder head. Stronger aromas. More tropical papaya, melon, mango and grapefruit. Less herbal. Stronger aromas and flavors all around.
Overall: Not the best offering from BlackStack. Showcases the Strata with a lot of dank notes. Ultimately, it’s extremely mild on the aroma and flavor, with a dank and herbal undertone. On your carbonated and lean sweet. It' doesn't pop. I think this could have been improved to a DIPA. Not their finest work but a decent effort I guess. (Rating: 3.55)

Pours a hazy lemon wheat color with a thin white head. Smell is fruity and floral. tast has lemon /citrus spritzes , grapfruit lime and berries . A thin mouth feel sweet with some dryness. Really not that goos as Blackstack has really tuned down the offerings lately watery and thin
