Jack Burton is drinking a Big Stupid Westy V4 (Chinook, Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe) by Verdant Brewing Co at Untappd at Home
This is the type of West Coast you rarely see in this country, low key fruit character, maybe some grapefruit. It’s dominated by pine/resin, fairly ratty, then drying on the finish. Unashamedly old skool, fair play.

Ethanol fairly prominent from first cracked, but as with literally every QIPA it does die away. Flavour is pleasant, pineapple with lemon, a touch of grapefruit bite but the bitterness remains low. At 12% I think this is pretty accomplished.

Jack Burton is drinking a Running Wild by Shiny Brewery at Untappd at Home
Another solid low ABV offering from Shiny both in flavour, & body. Signature earthy florality, but it's really potent here, backed up by a nice berry burst with lime. It's candied sweetness too, so reminded me of Refresher sweets from back in the day.
Jack Burton is drinking a Luminor (10th Birthday Beer) by Track Brewing Company at Untappd at Home
Lime, & grapefruit, nice floral note, & fairly fluffy in the body. Tastes fresh, & bright throughout, it’s been a while since I had a beer that tasted like this, so probably scores an extra 0.1 as a result.

Not their best beer but this is nice, really bright fruit flavour expression, moreish to the point you could quaff it. As with so many of these collabs though, struggling to pick out the Fiden’s influence, i.e. lacking fudginess in the mouthfeel.
