Rating: 4/5
Notes: As expected it’s juicy and hazy. Can’t go wrong there. Lots of stone fruit and pineapple flavors that I’m picking up. It has some slight bitterness at the tail but certainly no hop burn or anything like that. Great beer from these two.
Can art: Always fire from GN and their labels. “There’s a tear in my beer” is printed on the can near the date if you can’t read it. A sweet reference to the Hank Williams song.
Drinkage: 4 days after date in can.
