12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a semi-clear gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Zero lacing. Sweet cake aroma. Light strawberry and vanilla flavor in a light wheat base beer. The aroma has stronger shortcake notes than the flavor. Nicely sweet. Not overly fruity. Refreshing. Light body. Medium carbonation. Not bitter.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours an opaque gold color with a thick, bright white head and great retention. Fair lacing. Sharp bitter aroma. The taste follows the nose: Very faint juicy notes to start, followed by moderate, sharp bitterness in the finish. Too much IPA and not enough hazy in my opinion. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Medium bitterness. At least the 7.0% ABV is well hidden. Just because it looks hazy doesn't make it a hazy IPA.

Nice, a very Britishy-American red ale. Biscuit malts hint at caramel just a touch but the beer leans dry to semi-dry, with a nice herbal bitter finish, they report using EKG and Pahto hops. I'm not too familiar with the latter but I understand its a bittering hop so the flavors here lean hard into EKG and that's pretty cool, its been awhile! I can just barely get them in the nose too, lightly herbal and earthy to go with light caramel and dough. I can't quite pin down the fermentation profile here, its mostly pretty clean, maybe just a tiny bit of ester. Real easy drinking. Summary: dry bitter profile with biscuity malts and British hops. Nice dark red to copper color.

Draft pours clear amber with a thin head that quickly dissipates to lace. Silky mouth feel, mild banana and blueberry flavors, mild bitter finish.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours an opaque light orange-gold color with a small white head and poor retention. Zero lacing. Lots of floaties present. Dominant citrus aroma. Citrus and tropical fruit notes up front, with light bitterness in the finish. The guava is subtle, but well represented. More juicy than bitter. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Subtle bitterness. The 6.3% ABV is invisible. Pretty good for an IPA.
