4 pack of cans from the brewery, with last can drunk 5/29/25.
Dark, dull copper-bronze. Large, off-white head, creamy.
Smells mostly like tea to me. Black tea or something of that nature. Gentle spice and definitely some overboiled hop. Low malt, a bit crusty and crackery. Doesn't smell worty or like a hop seltzer, at least.
Big fruitiness, soft pine, maybe a touch of butter and some cracker, biscuit and very light caramel. There's a bit of grassiness, some woodiness, and lots of tea, with gentle, but reasonable bitterness. For an NA this is fairly upper tier. No wort, metal, and there is actual hop character here.

Canned 3/20, drunk 5/26/25. From Harvest Wine & Spirits Elmwood.
Moderately-to-heavily hazy, pale brass-bronze. Small, white head, good retention.
Soft, fruity yeast with citrus and a touch of pine. Wheat-like nuttiness and biscuit with citrus juice lingering.
Assertive but not overdone citrusy bitterness with a touch of pine. Soft and malty texture, very dry, clean, drinkable and with balanced flavor. After two months no doubt the big juiciness has dried up somewhat but this is still very balanced and drinkable.

16 ounce can in a trade with Clark, thank you. Aroma is big, bright, tangerine juice. Flavor has just as much tangerine with a very mild tart cranberry underneath. Along with very soft acid and sour wheat. Wonder balance. Gosh, how I missed this series! --- Beer aliased from original tick of Blender: Cran-Tan on 24 Sep 2018 at 12:19 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5. Original review text: 12 oz. draft at the brewery. Appearance is an intense Orange, yellow color that almost glows. Flavor has a mimosa character to it. Tangerines/ orange/ clementine. Or you could say HI- C juice box flavors. Very mild tartness underneath to balance the fruit. For me this is another Blender Home run. Extremely easy to drink and I wanted more when I was finished.

Panda thanks to Wingman. A medium haze on this slightly murky looking gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Smooth if slightly thin malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine and a fair amount of hop spice opens the show for crisp orangey citrus, briefly bright with a good backstop of marmaladey peel. Touches of mandarin and tangerine. Light and semi dry hop spicy finish. A tad dry but digging the hops on this one, simple but effective.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Clear deep brown beer, good bubbly pale tan head. Smooth airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Somewhat thin feeling dark malts, slightly earthy and tangy. Oaty malts but not sweet. Good dark fruits on the back end. Fairly thin finish. A tasty but thin stout.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy and slightly dirty looking orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a forward creamy sweetness, getting slightly milky. Light cooling pine. Soft but fairly juicy citrus, a little ripe citrus. Mild mango. A light and semi dry finish delivers a mild hop spice nibble. Quaffable but unremarkable.

Brewery draught, 4/25/25.
Clear dark amber. Small, butter-beige head.
Bright bourbon spice with rich but balanced malts. Smells both full of bourbon and malt yet balanced, not sweet at all. No booze.
Holy smokes. That's wild. Like perfectly balanced malt and attenuation/barrel. Rich spice, light oak, light toast, lots of caramel and honey but drying nicely on the end. Chewy and deep but not quite syrupy.

Brewery draught, 4/25/25.
Clear, dark. Big, tan head, good retention.
Rich base malt without excessive roast. Light chocolate and coffee notes. Clean, classic.
Big base malts provide balance for a rich coffee and chocolate character. Good roastiness, not overdone. Caramel and vanilla linger.

Brewery draught, 4/25/25.
Clear ruby-amber. Creamy, deep beige head.
Toasted nuts with rich base malts. Caramel, buttercream and a respite from malt on the finish via citrusy hops.
Big citrusy hops balance big malts. Low toast, moderate caramel and honey. Very robust and a big body and maltiness but well-attenuated on the finish. Not too much bitterness but the hops fo cut the maltiness nicely.
