Huge thanks J for sending this! Murky red body, off whtie head. Sweet cherry aroma, light maltiness. Quite light taste, with nice blueberry notes, cherry again, good carbonation. My notes are lightly sketchy, but I appear to have liked it a lot in the end!

Canned. Pitch black, traces of a brownish head. Big chocolate aroma with some vanilla. The taste is all about the cocoa nibs, hititng strong at sweet at first before going strong and roasty in teh finish, with some vanilla to round up the edges. Macadamia nuts? Okay. Going into a bitter finish. Excellent in a way, not a wow though.

Close, with a good dose of caramel, toasted bread, apple, and floral hops. Takes on an unwanted tang in the fade; otherwise a good alt.

Can, huge thanks GodOfThunder! Murky, opaque yellow-ochre, white head, big, thick, medium to good retention. Sweetish aroma, light oats, light caramel, huh, some sweet grapes maybe. But the travel killed this. Lean taste, soft, not sweet, not bitter really, some white grapes, gummie bears, not bad, vague caramel, quite vague, light hop burn without the hop freshness, huh. I can see this being better fresh.

Half pint can, enormous thanks GodOfRBChatz! Misty golden body, white head. Sweetish aroma, guessing it's corn, lightly malty. Impressively tasteless, vaguely fruity as it warms. They nailed whatever they were going for, extremely, extremely light creamy melony touch near the end, trace tartness. Now, this is definitely aaaalmooost insanely clean. But noooot entirely, still some touches here and there. Honestly - okay, I see what they were going for. I just don't like it much.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks for the opportunity, Chris! It's a cloudy dingy yellow with no sparkle, thin, quickly fading cap of off-white head and no lacing. Aroma is wheat, tart fruit. Taste is tart and lightly sweet passion fruit, wheat and hint of salt. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and mostly tart finish as taste. Overall, not my bailiwick so hard to comment on its representativeness, but seems appropriate for the style. Doesn't look like much--just kind of sits there--but good mix of wheat and fruit along with a bit of salt.
