I've had this 4 times (3 in 2015, 1 in 2017) on Untappd, but my rating from RB is gone. I was surprised when I saw this as a new entry, knowing I've had this before. Not sure what's going on with this site, beers/ratings seem to disappear for no reason. Score of 3.5 on UT.

12oz can. Orange colored pour with a thin ring of sandy head. Aroma of orange and a little honey. Nice sweet citrus flavor, orange of course, with light ginger in the finish. A little sweetness from the honey. Well balanced and very easy to drink.

12oz can. Found this tucked behind a few other Shades brews and glad that I did! A yellow pour with a modest white head. Aroma is a mouth-watering watermelon sour that triggers the sense of liquid candy. Flavor is spot on with light fruity watermelon sweetness and a nice sour kick. Super refreshing. I will be keeping an eye out for more of this..

12oz can picked up at the brewery. Pours hazy dark burnt orange with a fast dissipating head, no lacing. Mild tart, peppers, horseradish, tomato juice, salt. There first version of a Bloody Mary was much better than this one. The flavors are all mixed together. Couldn't finish the glass.

Green onion and tons of bread mold. Very weird vibe, and definitely not sure they meant this? Maybe the dank ass hops were moldy? Anyway, at least I should be healthy--this beer is an antibiotic. Golden pour with fluffy head. Hop tang finish. Can't get over this flavour though. Can.

12oz can picked up at the brewery. Pours clear dark golden with a medium sized off-white head, good lacing. Pine resin, grapefruit, sticky sweet resin. Haven't had a good piney WCDIPA like this in a long time. Tasty!

12 oz. Aroma is very much like the Thai soup with notes of coconut, lemon and ginger. Pours murky orange with floaties and a two finger off white head that collapses into a ring quickly. Taste is highly sour (8/10) with flavors of Thai Tom Kha. A little thin in the mouth. Interesting.
