12 oz. Aroma is cherry pie with graham crackers and cinnamon, topped with vanilla ice cream. Pours hazy ruby red with a one+ finger pinkish white head with decent retention. Taste is lightly to moderately sour (5/10) and fairly sweet with cherry pie and vanilla flavors. Somewhat watery mouthfeel. Good, but not the explosion of flavor that the majority of the beers in this series have.

12 oz. can. Pours a hazy, orange color, with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is tangerine, Chenin Blanc, wet grass, orange peel, and butterscotch. Not too sweet, with a bright, aggressive tartness. Medium body, with a sugary, sticky palate. Fun and well made.

12oz can. A dirty golden pour with a light white head. Aroma is sweet and tart, heavy lime and light cinnamon. Flavor is spot-on key lime pie. Outstanding resemblance. Sweet and tart lime, cinnamon, lactose, even the crust.. it's all there. Quite sour, which keeps me from wanting to have more than one at a time, but overall the brewer nailed it.

12oz can. Pours a hazy red color akin to pie cherries, but not as bright. Great aroma of sweet and tart cherry goodness. The pie cherry element really stands out in the taste, followed by light vanilla and lactose. Slight hint of dry pastry crust. Sweet with a lingering sour finish.
