On tap at Borderlands, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out notes of vanilla, light cinnamon, and lactose. Flavour is very bizarre, with notes of cinnamon and vanilla upfront, with a dirty earthy character that clouds everything up. Needs some tweaking, as this doesn't taste optimal.

On tap at Borderlands, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of dank hops, a little pot and just enough biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with dank, floral and pot-like dry hopping and just enough dry biscuity malt to back. Nicely constructed, finishing fairly brutally dank. Nice stuff.

On tap at Borderlands, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt, not much else. Flavour is gentle, with a decent balance of bready malt and resinous hops. Restrained but pleasant. Decent.

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.

On tap at Borderlands, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma and flavour are clean crisp, with crackery malt and a touch of bittering hops. Nothing special, but it's at least clean.

32oz growler pours with a murky opaque straw gold body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up cantaloupe, tangerine, a bit of orange cream cycle and then pineapple. The taste delivers fresh juicy cantaloupe blended with pineapple and clementine citrus. The bitterness grows to midway and then flows into a kind of tangerine juiciness ringed thinly by an orange cream cycle note. This is crisp, juicy and fully bitter with hops creating a pleasing hoppy depth. Love it.

32oz growler picked up fresh at the brewery pours with a completely opaque dull copper to gold body that supports a near tight tan head. The aroma offers up clementine zest, citrus juiciness as well as mango and pineapple. The taste delivers juicy fresh ripe tangelo and clementine as well as lesser amounts of pineapple and mango juiciness. Yum! The sediment in suspension creates a pleasing texture and depth to the experience. Behind the juicy notes are grapefruit and tangerine like citrus hop bitterness that help balance this out wonderfully. What a terrific taste experience. This is fresh and crisp and refreshing and I just want to keep drinking it with no plans of stopping. Kryky! This is just nuts!

16oz can pours with a near clear pale gold body that supported a quick off white head. The aroma offers up apricot and strawberry and then a sweeter fruity apple, some spices and kind of earthy fruitiness that might be cactus. The taste delivers fruity sweetness like apple, apricot and earthy fruitiness. It then quickly picks up sweetened lemon and lime tartness with a thin saltiness around the edges. This seems to be a bit too fruit forward but the tartness and mild salt does a pretty good job at preventing this from becoming too sweet.

On tap at Real, Wild & Woody Beer Festival, pours an opaque pinkish amber with a medium white head. Aroma brings out notes of tart elderberries and lots of yeast. Flavour is sweet and sour, with lots of elderberries upfront, with medium sweetness and a little funk. Medium-high carbonation and moderately complex. Solid stuff.
