16 oz can from the Untappd Wild Year in Beer box. Aroma is berry fruity and smells sugary sweet. Taste is mildly sour (5/10 on a sour scale) and quite sweet with flavors of black currant, pineapple, and a light note of vanilla. Maybe a hint of hops, but no good reason to slap the IPA tag on this.

16 oz can from Half Time, 12/6/24. Pours a murky, almost ugly darker reddish color. Smoothie juice. Dark berry. Lactose and vanilla for sure, too much of both. Currant comes through a little. Pineapple not so much. It's finely made I guess, but it's not my thing. I need less of this kind of beer in my life honestly. 7/2/6/2/13

Can. Pours a hazy reddish grapefruit with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice slightly tart pineapple with dark berries and a hint of vanilla underlying. Flavor is pineapple forward with a sweet vanilla note and just a bit of tart currant supporting.

Can from HOMES. Pours a hazy pinkish orange color with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Big pineapple aromas with some tart berry notes. Maybe some hoppy notes, but the pineapple is really loud here. Some weird notes not dissimilar from plastic or rubber but they dissipate as it warms. Lingering pineapple and tart fruit. Not one of the better in the series.
