From a can. Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a white head. Aromas are biscuit and lemon. Flavors very light citrus.

Odd IPA, with the pine and grapefruit of a traditional West Coast IPA, but underlined by a brett-like funky note, touched by a little wort and grain sweetness. Finishes with a clingy bitter streak. Interesting, but I’m not sure it’s supposed to be—the funk isn’t off-putting, but should it be here?

Can: Poured a hazy bright yellow, with white head. Aroma is citrus, fruity, orange. Taste is citrus, orange, fruity, not as dry finish as I like for a brut.

More floral than juicy, with a cracker malt base and passion fruit, peach, and citrus pith in the middle. Leads to a dry, lemon-tinged finish. Decent, but nothing to write home about.

Fizzy and infected, maybe? Nose has an unexpected note of horse blanket backed up by a little citrus. Funk notes follow on the taste, backed by a hint of grapefruit and cracker. Something’s gone wrong here.

Not bad, more English than American, full of malt and cocoa and honey, with a slight fruity yeastiness and a mild bitter streak on the back end. Inoffensive.

12oz can pours a neon yellow, white head. This is about all the good stuff I can say. Nose is like a bad witbier, coriander, clove, banana, grist, heavy lavender and herbs. Flavor is worse because it's sweet, plenty of esters and yeast now. No hop at all to speak of. Potpourri. Finishes estery. Trainwreck.
