Can from Corti Bros. Pours rosé with a somewhat frothy pink tinged head. Aroma is mildly fruity with some sugary aspects. Med body or nearly. Flavor is fruit, quickly followed by wheat. It does bring back memories of prickly pear jelly - tho nowhere near that sugary. This is actually a wee bit tart. Not excessively exciting. But new experiences are always good.

Draft in shaker glass in Newtown Square. Amber clear with the nitro head an interesting texture twist for an IPA. Faint grass and malt aroma, medium body. More pine than grapefruit to the taste. Bitter finish.

Draft. A- Sweet grains, melon. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, white head. T- Melon, slightly sweet, grains. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Actually refreshing and natural flavor. The melon is there but not sweet or fake tasting. It's fairly mild and you do still taste the base kolsch. Surprisingly much better than I expected.

12 oz. can, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Nose brings sticky resinous hops, a little pine, and sweet bready caramel malt. Flavour is both hoppy and malty, with lots of rich resinous hops, caramel biscuity malt, and a bit of sticky toffee. It's sweet, but fitting for the style. Excellent.
