16 oz. can, $3 at Orange & Brew. Well, should not be surprised, but nonetheless interested to smell blueberries AND donut glaze under the tab. Pours a murky purple, with some fizz that goes away quickly. Taste is very thick, like a juice drink. Full of blueberry and cream. Still some Berliner tartness, but also a bit sugary. Well, let's give it some chops for tasting excatly as described: like blueberry donuts. Just glad there are more Energy City Bistro beers at my local's shelves.

Mango, passionfruit, malt, and straw aroma. Murky tan-yellow with no head. Moderately sweet mango, passionfruit, malt, lightly sour citric acid, and very mildly bitter straw flavor. Nice body and balance. Great sweet-tart flavor.

Can. An unclear dark brown beer topped by a minimalistic beige head. Sweetish aroma with marshmallow, brown sugar, chocolate and some biscuity notes. It's sweet and full-bodied, lightly carbonated, with quite a lot of biscuity flavors. Marshmallow, cookie dough, brown sugar and chocolate in the flavor. Lasting finish. A bit sweet this one, but it's nice anyway. 221231

Huh. Pours a super gloppy orange milkshake from a can, eventually separates with the pumpkin solids settling at the bottom of the glass. Weird. Probably the most legitimately pumpkin beer I've ever had, the flavor is actually quite good, nicely but not overly spiced and you can taste the actual pumpkin. Good but unique beer.

Can sample at a Yana's tasting at Max's place. Muddy orange-red. Lots of banana and guava, some melon, like a smoothie, sweet and slightly sourish. Not my thing.
