Can. Very pale gold with a white head that fades to a loose raft. Aroma is plenty citrusy with Lemon Barley Water and yuzu. Not much else. It's light bodied but not so much as 4% and rice suggested to me it was going to be. It has light sweetness with citrus gently oozing though and a dryish very slightly bitter finish. Refreshing.

A pleasant enough aroma of mandarin, lemon and pine, with a little bread and honey. Again, a nice pleasant bitterness in the mouth with that mandarin taste. It's good, not great, and at $12 a can, I'm grading on a curve.

Can. Pale gold with a good inch of white head that never quite disappears. Aroma is floral with earthy and spicy touches, lemon, light bread. Fairly light bodied with medium high carbonation. Malt is more crackery than bready. Clean and leanish with a punchy bitter finish that's mostly spicy. Drinks itself.

(Can) Not a pretty looking beer - cloudy, lumpy amber with no head. Nice aroma of raspberries. Medium body with excellent fine carbonation. Great taste. Plenty of raspberries - fresh and tart not jammy. Some creamy hints providing some balance to the tartness. Maybe some funky hints. Interesting, refreshing, very drinkable.

(Can) Pours cloudy yellow gold with no head. Odd aroma, quite subtle, passionfruit, maybe cardboard. Light body with lively bright carbonation. Taste is sour, with plenty of passionfruit. There’s hints of mint and dough in the finish. Unusual, refreshing, but a bit odd and one dimensional.
