Molson Coors UK (Molson Coors) Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire

473ml can. Pours a crystal clear gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of bready wheat malt, red apple and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, red apple and grassy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. I really wanted to hate on this, but it's pretty solid as far as Pale Lagers go. Refreshing and crushable.

Wild Ambition Brewing Kelowna, British Columbia

It's got a blueberry colour, bright, with a thin, slightly purple head. Balanced blueberry, lactic tartness, a touch of pale malt, a slightly warm asafoetida note (probably autolysis). There's a fair bit of good here, but I'd especially like more blueberry because there's sufficient complexity in the base beer that I think a bigger fruit flavour would add to the beer, rather than drown it out.

Draft pour at Lone Oak. Poured a pitch black color with a small brown head. Aroma was vanilla, light cinnamon. I got some light chilies, vanilla. Not a lot of barrel in this one? I really liked drinking this on a windy, cool Spring day. Alcohol is really well masked.

Cellarmaker Brewing Company San Francisco, California

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 15, 2024. Aroma is very hop forward and fruity with tons of passion fruit, guava, tropical citrus and gooseberry. Huge waves of dank, oily hop resin. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, dull, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers on the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Tons of tropical citrus, passion fruit and guava with lighter notes of grapefruit and gooseberry. Quite a bit of dank, oily hop resin that lingers into the finish with the bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid, super dank, fruity, hazy DIPA. The hop kief is super noticeable. Fairly sweet malt profile but it balances out the bitterness and alcohol notes. Nice hop profile in aroma and flavor although it's a bit fruitier in the aroma.

Caboose Brewing Company Vienna, Virginia

16oz pint from Caboose Commons. Poured a fizzy yellow color. Totally clear, lots of carbonation. Aroma is very light corn, meh. Super fizzy head. They nailed the macro aroma and taste in this one. Not my jam, but I know enough people who would really dig this one when they get dragged to breweries.
