- 2:28Speaker 2: average score three point nine to one, not untapped.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Is that correct?
- 2:30Speaker 3: Like the color on that?
- 2:31Speaker 1: Oh no, that's beer advocate. I'm sorry, I'm.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Over here on the I got one hundred and twenty
- 2:35Speaker 3: five thousand, six hundred and seventy five check ins. Ninety
- 2:37Speaker 3: seven and forty nine of those are unique six hundred
- 2:40Speaker 3: and seventy one monthly average okay three point eighty six
- 2:45Speaker 3: out of eighty nine, eight hundred and thirty three reviews
- 2:48Speaker 3: all right ratings.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It's pretty tasty smell.
- 2:54Speaker 3: It's a you know, it's a different you shall like
- 2:58Speaker 3: it's what is it? The the piney taste in this one.
- 3:01Speaker 3: It's keeping it from being juicy. It wants to be
- 3:04Speaker 3: citrusy and juicy or whatever, but the pine is kind
- 3:06Speaker 3: of just overtaken it, I think. Okay, so I don't know.
- 3:09Speaker 3: But then again, it's just an ipa. It's not a hazy,
- 3:12Speaker 3: but it looks like a hazy a little bit, you
- 3:14Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.
- 3:14Speaker 2: It's got that kind of characteristic. That's the fruit flavor, right,
- 3:18Speaker 2: the fruit. You know, when you got that, you're dealing
- 3:19Speaker 2: with the fruit. You get that a little bit of
- 3:21Speaker 2: that hazy looks.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Maybe a stone fruit in there. I don't know what's
- 3:25Speaker 3: chat GIPT says. It's supposed to be. Well, I told you.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Now, let's see here. The big thing is the mango.
- 3:33Speaker 2: It leans juicy and tropical rather than aggressively bitter. Reviews
- 3:37Speaker 2: commonly mentioned mango along with pineapple, peach, citrus, and some
- 3:42Speaker 2: pine with a smooth, medium bodied hazy ipa feel.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I'd say pine and mango are the main ingredients here
- 3:50Speaker 3: because everything else that should be there it would be overbearing.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I think.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I think if you had if it was more like
- 3:55Speaker 3: the citrus flavor, you would taste more citrus and you're
- 3:57Speaker 3: not really tasting a lot of citrus. Pineapple always stands
- 4:00Speaker 3: out in front of everything. But yeah, I think it's
- 4:02Speaker 3: more mangoing pine.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:05Speaker 2: They say New Belgian describes this as it's taking you
- 4:08Speaker 2: back to the.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Future of hazy. I p a, uh huh, yeah, you
- 4:12Speaker 1: like that.
- 4:14Speaker 2: And then I also asked, is it cobra Kai or
- 4:19Speaker 2: Joe Joe, But he's got the tail, so they had
- 4:22Speaker 2: put the tail on there just to make sure, because
- 4:25Speaker 2: typically it's just the front of the cobra, right, but.
- 4:29Speaker 3: It's dope, what is it the pilot helmet on or whatever,
- 4:33Speaker 3: the little wool inside of bicycle.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Hat cousin edti cousinetti hat right there. Yeah. I did
- 4:40Speaker 1: ask Champi Tee to GPT to predict.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Our scores and it just it just did overall scores
- 4:46Speaker 2: this time as well as a as a line of
- 4:49Speaker 2: thought of like what it would think we would think.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Okay, so for me, and it's predicting our scores out of.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Five, okay, I will say it's given. It's saying a
- 4:59Speaker 2: higher score than I would give it.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It's saying I would. It's saying i'd give it a
- 5:03Speaker 1: four point one out of five.
- 5:04Speaker 3: So now it's started dialing on what would each give it.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I asked that.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Okay, I'll have you give me your score before I
- 5:10Speaker 2: read what it says for you. But it says I
- 5:13Speaker 2: think that I'll really like the mango and drink ability.
- 5:17Speaker 2: But stop short of calling it elite, I'm more like
- 5:21Speaker 2: a wrong the lines of like a three five, three seven,
- 5:26Speaker 2: five on it.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I think it's pretty good. I was gonna say three seven,
- 5:29Speaker 1: it's pretty good.
- 5:30Speaker 3: It's above average. I would say, so if you did
- 5:32Speaker 3: out of ten, it's seven out of ten. Yeah, it's
- 5:34Speaker 3: a solid score for you.
- 5:35Speaker 1: You said you'd give it, what three.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Seven, five, But that thing's gonna say you like three
- 5:38Speaker 3: nine oh or.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Four point how about it says three point seven out
- 5:41Speaker 1: of five?
- 5:41Speaker 3: Ah, there we go. That thing's starting to dial it.
- 5:43Speaker 2: It says I'm predicting he likes it, but knocks it
- 5:46Speaker 2: a little bit for being too fruity slash sweet and
- 5:49Speaker 2: not I p a ish enough.
- 5:51Speaker 3: That's backwards, backwards, stupid computer.
- 5:57Speaker 2: It says our show average would be three point nine
- 5:59Speaker 2: out of five, and then it says, lock those in there,
- 6:03Speaker 2: you go.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I'm like a three five, three seven
- 6:06Speaker 1: five on it. I think it's pretty good, it's tasty.
- 6:09Speaker 1: I've got another one that I'll drink and enjoy.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's for me.
- 6:14Speaker 2: The cans what sells me on this one? Yeah, of course,
- 6:16Speaker 2: I think you walk back that. Yeah, it's like you're
- 6:19Speaker 2: coming home with ten. Art's a ten out of ten
- 6:21Speaker 2: ten ten ten Yeah, uh nice, smooth actually, uh pretty
- 6:26Speaker 2: drink drinkability is really high thirty I wus Yeah, six
- 6:30Speaker 2: point seven, Yeah, which is right and part with all
- 6:32Speaker 2: the other ones, you know what I mean, unless it's
- 6:34Speaker 2: a curial, but uh yeah, I know it's I think checks.
- 6:36Speaker 3: Boxes looks good, taste good, you know. Like I said,
- 6:40Speaker 3: it's I'm knocking at the opposite way. I wish I
- 6:42Speaker 3: had a little bit more fruit or juicy this to it.
- 6:45Speaker 3: But other than that, it's a big comes up.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yeah, thumbs up here too. Have you guys had this
- 6:49Speaker 1: one before?
