Can from Sam's Quik Shop. Pours very pale gold with a large white head. Aroma is garden-picked cucumber, earth, dill, salt. Flavor is straight up cucumber - garden picked rather than grocery store, salt, earth. I don't love or hate cucumber. If you love it, you'll love this. It's almost pure cucumber with some souring. EDITING TO ADD: The deeper I get into this beer, the worse it gets. It's gotten to the point of undrinkable for me.

Can from Sam's Quik Shop. Pours golden with lots of carbonation, no head. Aroma is ginger, turmeric, light citrus. The ginger and turmeric drown out all apple aroma. Flavor is the same, except there's a good amount of slightly sweet apple in there. An interesting combo... makes it a bit earthy. Enjoyable.

Can from Sam's Quik Shop. Clear pale gold pour, small white head. Decent carbonation. Tart apple aroma, absolutely nothing else. Flavor, on the other hand, is tart apple, green tea, vanilla, very light strawberry. Enjoyable.

This brew pours a clear golden color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of citrus, malt and faint hops. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, citrus and mild grassy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Can from Tasty Beverage. Really ugly can. No high hopes here. Pint glass pour. Fizzy, yellow, turning almost a bile-ish sort of green. Smell is mild. Cider, yeast, baking powder, faint herbage & unripe fruit of some sort. Taste is crisp, with an immediate hit of powdered sugar & strawberries. Very tart, with big acid. Mildly bitter. Lingering yeasty matcha finish that I do not like. Okay cider base, but the flavor combo is just a bad idea. No one who enjoys cider would do this.
