I think this is more of a WC IPA than a Brut as listed. I didn’t change it tho. It is very smooth like others listed. It’s malty that is caramel like. Fruit wise has an orange zest and some very light mango. This is where it is lacking in my eyes. It’s presence is there but needs more punch. It does have a “leafy” taste to it. Has some light+ pine which is nice. Has a very light bitterness which is another point that is lacking if it is an WC. Overall I thought this was a little bland. Tastes good but almost like a session. Still pretty decent even given it flaws. Freshest by 11/11/26.

Wow, this is sweet. This is fruity that has a sweet orange, mango with a hint of berry taste. Very light bitterness. Has a light+ sweet bready/doughy malt. What is strange when I sit and savor the taste I get bubblegum in the way later aftertaste. Only when I wait a while between sips. Overall it’s too damn sweet for me. Malt dominant. It needs a lot more of a hoppy bite. Freshest by 9/21/26.

This has an orange/tangerine, berry with a touch of peach taste. Has just a touch of dankness to it. Bitterness is very light. Has a touch of biscuity malt. Overall this was really nice. Not as hoppy as I like them but this had a really good taste to it. Freshest by 9/24/26. Note: single hop is variety Mosaic

Happy Friday. Starting off with a session. This has a subtle tropical fruit taste that is not very distinctive. I get hints of melon, apricot and some orange as I finished but there is more there. Has some light pine that has a touch of dankness to it. Bitterness is light+. Overall for a session that has a great taste. It’s kind of crisp with good flavor. It’s one you could drink all day. Freshest by 9/4/26.

Doing a double up. 1st can: this hits you with citrus up front that leans towards juicy blood orange with a touch of mandarin orange thrown it. Has a light+ hoppy bitterness. Malty side has dark roasted malt with bakers chocolate and toasted caramel. Can 2: Citrus is basically the same. The blood orange seemed a little toned down this time but just a little. Malt is basically the same but has more of a toffee taste instead of toasted caramel. Overall this is nice and different tasting black IPA. It has a unique taste to it that is a little different from the norm. Freshest by 5/28/26 date for 1st can. Freshest by 7/26/26 date for 2nd can. They were from different 12 pack variety packs.

Thankfully, a good brew tonight. Nice malt base with a slight char to it
