Rating: 4/5
Notes: Almost a bit too drinkable for a 9.1%’er 🙂 This will get ya if you don’t watch out. Very tasty with lots of orange flavor and not too much sweetness. From the can: “Our love’s bud goes full bloom when the city lights fade away, and we can make out the stars that create the great Cheeky in the sky”. ” Drink while smiling”
Happy New Year!
Can Art: Really dig the constellations and design on the can. Colors, layout, and fonts all pull it together.

Brewery: Abnormal Beer Company – San Diego, CA
Brewery IG: @abnormalbeerco
———————————–
Rating: 4.25/5
Notes: Solid beer here. Easy to drink with lots of great flavor. It didn’t seem the “different” to me but it was good so that works for me. When looking it up on the beer web sites I see lots of people thinking this beer was called “Simply Different” which is their motto but I can see the confusion.
Can art: I like their logo but the can was a bit in the too simple side for me.
Drinkage: There was a date but it was a partial print on the edge of the can so I have no idea what the month or day was but it was 2018 so I got that going for me. ———————————–———————————–

Brewery: The Alchemist – Stowe, VT
Brewery IG: @alch3mistb33r

Rating: 4/5
Notes: Alchemist rocks this boozy IPA. I’d call it a west coast IPA with the hoppy bitterness and clarity. It was a bit on the boozy side for me.
Can art : Awesome cow print and design.
Drinkage: No date on can
