Draught from DanDan: pours clear with foamy head. Aroma is citrusy with berry fruitiness. Some bitterness but a juicyfruit taste overall. Lingering bitterness. Fine.

12 oz can from Wegmans, 4/28/25. Not exactly the right season for this guy, but it was hiding in the beer fridge. Mostly clean rusty, darker orange color with a beige head. Drippy, streaky lacework on the glass. Grains, spice, floral, candied sugar. Kind of an odd mix, not bad, not great. Reasonably drinkable as well, but the finish is a little off. I don't know how to score this oddball, I'm not a huge fan, but I don't mind some of it. I settled here.

Can from Beer52 as part of their Pennsylvania box. Cloudy dark gold to amber in colour with small creamy looking white head. Picking up wheat, banana, bubblegum, hint of pineapple in the aroma; has a decent freshness to it. Taste starts with a nice sweetness, yeasty wheat notes, banana bubblegum, then pineapple upsidedown cake which brought back memories but only half works. The level of pineapple isn't overdone but it still has a mixer drink feel to it.

Can from Beer52 as part of their Pennsylvania box. This one at 6%. Pours black, small beige head, a little fizzy with modest retention. Big peanut aroma which dominates, some roast and chocolate notable. Taste starts with peanut but gives way to more notable chocolate and caramel, somewhat sweet and buttery but then a roasty mid-bitter finish. Medium bodied, fine zingy carbonation. Very good.
