Emerald Daze

The incense and that faintly nostalgic haze really do come through on the nose, just like the description promised. Poured it into a tulip glass and the botanical notes carried all the way through, making for a surprisingly smooth sipping IPA.

Opened it on a Tuesday night and the incense-like aroma instantly took me back to flipping vinyl in my uncle’s basement. The botanical haze is legit—smooth sip, no harsh bite, and I actually slowed down to enjoy it rather than chug.

The botanical notes hit me right away — that incense vibe is real, not just a gimmick. Poured one after work and the hazy, slightly sweet aroma made the whole kitchen feel like a basement jam session.
