Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours clear gold with a moderate beige head. Aroma is rather tart and has some fruit. Arguably med body. It's pretty dry and pretty tart/sour. Some white grapes and wood astringency in the flavor. Malt is somewhat lost in the mix. A few sips and it becomes quite approachable.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours lightly hazy gold with a moderate white head. Aroma of passion fruit and citrus. Med body. Juicy and tropical but more towards dry than sweet and somewhat earthy/dank. At least moderately bitter. Flavor is passion fruit, citrus, touch of zest, green guava, melon and some earthy notes. If not dank, it's near the territory. Good stuff.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours lightly translucent gold with a very large creamy white head that laced slowly down. Aroma of passionfruit and grapefruit. Med body or so. Flavor has some white grape and a bit of earth, but there's still passionfruit, substantial grapefruit and a suggestion of peach. Dry enough. Caramel malt support. Bitter. Heat is hard to find. A very good ale.
