———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: A solid hazy beer collab from GN and Horus. Some bitterness from the hops but very good and smooth through most of the taste. As expected it’s full of tropical flavors. It’s certainly a good beer but I wouldn’t say there’s much that makes it stand out.
Can Art: Another sick design as always. Can’t complain with GN’s can art.
Drinkage: Day of can release. 6 days after date on can.

Rating: 4/5
Notes: Solid hazy from Ruse and Structures here. First beer I’ve had from Strucures. Lots of tropical flavors but still some uniqueness with the Strata and African Queen hops. The bitterness from these two hops with the Citra work for me but from what others are saying it sounds like there’s mixed feelings.
Can art: Super sick design with the two heads.
Drinkage: 1 day after date on can.

Notes: Happy #nationalbeercanappreciationday! Good luck saying that five times fast!
Not a bad beer here at all but didn’t wow me away like I was hoping for with a Foam beer. Lots of tropical, fruit notes and very tasty on the front but a little end bitterness which was a bit too much for me. Looking forward to more from Foam!
Can art: Sick! Can’t complain with the artwork from Foam as they always do it up.
Drinkage: 12 days after date on can.
