Centennial IPA V

First time in a can. Feeling bad I bought 15. Way too malty. Centennial subdued. Was hoping they would go the other way with this.

Moon Rambler IPA V

$1.07/can. Comparing this to the last Hazy. Much more complex. Some sweetness but still a hop bite. No sludge. Some bitterness. Long, tasty finish. Much more interesting.

Unraveled IPA V

Trying to compare this to B-43. Very similar hop profile. A bit sweeter, more hop finish, not as dry. Much tastier finish here. But likely more carbs also.

Unraveled IPA V

Dank. Guessing it's the Simcoe that I like so much. Some cat piss, onion. If you know Riips dank stuff, this is similar. Excellent.

Unraveled IPA V

Kinda like a danker version of Mosaic Promise. More complex, Simcoe dankness maybe. Reminds me of some Riip beers. Like it. Makes Marcia sneeze.
