Trader Joe's

This can is a sludge bomb with hop burn, but the first two-thirds are quite tasty. I'm guessing incorrect storage. Peachy but not cloying.

Dry, yeasty, grainy, but I like it. Has an old world quality.

Cool can art, bland beer. A little roast but forgettable.

This honestly might be my new favorite beer!

Underwhelming compared to the holiday beers. Both strong and bland, like Rainier Wolfcastle.

This is better than many more expensive IPAs I've had. It's like a grape hard candy flavor from the hops. I recognize it from other IPAs I've loved.

This is NOT a New England IPA, as the label says. It's more of a hoppy red. This is a major labeling failure. I would not have purchased if this were correctly labeled.

Deceptively smooth, dark cocoa, alcohol well hidden. Not a pastry.

Very west coast but way too much sediment. It's oddly cloudy, and I don't think it's intentional. I think Trader Joe's gets their old stock (no date on the can).

Great pickup by trader joe's. Big juicy aromas, not astringent.
