Rating: 6/10

I was pretty skeptical of this given the trendy labeling, and from what I know of the other stolen products not being very good but this stuff is tasty. Pretty good flavors and a good showing of a 6 year old Hampden product. Good funkiness, but not overpowered. It is balanced by the fruity flavors and the more savory spiciness from the oak spice. This is something I am gabbing a bottle or two of next time I see it on the shelf.
