West By Northwest

Purchased on 2026-02-07 at Iron & Glass, Minooka. Date on bottom of can: 01-29-2026. Pours opaque and straw in color. A good finger-and-a-half of snow white foam with tightly packed small bubbles covers. Good staying power as a layer of foam never completely leaves throughout. Some lacing. Aroma is tropical fruits towards the ripe side of their sugary goodness: pineapple and mango. There is a dankness on the backend that almost makes me think this beer had been toking up some in the refrigerator. Taste follows the nose almost to a fault. Pineapple, mango, and sweetness from the ripe fruits. Gone is the dankness from the aroma. Mouthfeel is just too light for the style. It is thin without any backbone. Somewhat crisp with light carbonation. It does hide the alcohol. No real bitterness but is a bit sweet. I am a huge Hitchcock fan. Making a beer and the can design that pulls in from some of those awesome movies, automatically is fantastic in my book. This beer is solid offering that I would have again, especially if the body was amped up to 11. Enjoy!
