Dark gold pour. Bright fruity nose. Smells sweet but not a sweet flavor. More tangy with pear notes. Light bodied and light carbonation.

Bottle. Drank from a bottle. Aroma was a nasty fruity smell that was not appealing. Taste was even worse. Not a very good beer.

Single from Kroger. Pint glass back at the BNB. Milko-like pour. Classy gold once it settles; lingering froth. Sour, floral, apple nose. Not really familiar. Sweet, grainy, apple malt, sort of a blonde ale taste. Floral earthy finish that reminds me of tea. Almost flat carb, chewy feel. Really odd & I'm not a fan.

Sample at Porch Growler. Clear pale golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Spotty lace. Aroma of pear, malt and mild spice. Light-bodied with flavors of stone fruit, floral wheat and malt. The finish is fruity with a short pear and citrus aftertaste. Average overall.

Pours golden with a thick white head. Aroma of sweet, sugary fruit punch. Taste has strange fruity notes: vaguely tropical, similar to a dragonfruit. Palate has mild hop elements that compliment the continued fruity notes. Weird but good.

Pale yellow color,,indescribable aroma. Flavor is dry, slightly sweet prickly pear. Slightly sweet taste.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 10/3/2016. Pours crystal clear deep orange/copper color with a 1 -2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big watermelon, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, pear, pineapple, lemon, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of cactus fruit and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of watermelon, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, pear, pineapple, lemon, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/toasted earthiness. Light herbal bitterness and slight fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of watermelon, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, pear, pineapple, lemon, toasted biscuit, light caramel, floral/toasted earthiness. Nice robustness and balance of cactus fruit and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/tart balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/grainy mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.9%. Overall this is a nice fruit beer. All around good robustness and balance of cactus fruit and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
