On tap at Borderlands, pours a bright reddish pink with a small off-white head. Aroma is very restrained, with gentle bright pear skins. Flavour follows accordingly, with lots of fresh prickly pear upfront, though it's all pretty restrained. Low residual sweetness. Simple but refreshing on a hot desert summer day.

A reddish copper ale with no head. In aroma, strange mix between cotton candy, watermelon and pear, musky, OK. In mouth, a strange sweet fruity malt with fishy iodine and watermelon, tartness, interesting but becomes cloying in the end. On tap at brewery.

On tap at the brewhouse. Pours a very haze orange-ish, red-ish, pink-ish with an off-white head that lingers. Aroma of yeast and sweet syrup. Taste was very sweet and disjointed. The wheat added some chewyness in the mouthfeel. This was the only beer at the brewery that i thought lost the plot.

On tap at the brewery. Pours hazy orange with a medium white head. This was one of the first batches and I was told the amount of hops used was more than future batches would be. Aroma was huge cascade and citrus notes. Flavor was thin grass and cracked wheat with big juicy citrus notes and thin prickly pear. The hops were huge in this beer, almost bordering ipa.
