Can from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Cloudy, dark orange-red with trace sparkle, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong cranberry and tangerine with tart fruit. Taste follows aroma though flavors are less distinct. Fairly thick texture, medium bodied, average carbonation, finish as taste. Fruit is well balanced and still allows for base tartness. Well made.

8 oz. pour on tap at the brewery. Cloudy, blueberry purple, light sparkle, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is strong tart fruit (green apple quality) and blueberry. Taste is strong blueberry over milder tart fruit. Smooth , frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Mildly tart but blueberries shine!

Pours opaque amber with a thin white head. Aroma of flat malt. Taste has spice notes, some lactose and fruity notes, mango. Palate has more lactose, some salt, lingering salty malt and fruity notes. Good.

Brewery draught, 6/15/25.
Clear, deep golden-maize.
Fresh, juicy apple in the nose with no malo-lactic/wild fermentation (or very little of it). Clean with a touch of Brett, perhaps and a good balance of sugar and tannin.
Soft, juicy, perfectly balanced with just enough residual sugar to comfort and provide excellent flavor while still allowing full apple character and moderate tannin to balance and add complexity.

Brewery draught, 6/15/25.
Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden. Firm, small, off-white head.
Juicy and with some chalk, mineral, earth and light spruce/pine. A touch of punchiness, but softening with white grape, sweet lime and softer, rounder tropical fruits. Rich, malty, supportive body with no alcohol or flaw noted.
Juicy, soft, but with above average acidity for the style. I didn't look at the hops and guessed Galaxy, Motueka and Nelson. Definitely got some dry chalk/earth and spruce which made me think Galaxy. Did get the fruit salad, lime, white wine and zesty spicy greenery from the NZ hops, but not really much classic Citra. Regardless, it's flavorful, balanced and juicy with maybe a touch more dryness/chalk and acidity than I'd care for.

Brewery draught, 6/15/25.
Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden with a small, white head, moderately-well-retained.
Juicy and bright with round citra but seemingly ample acidity. Thick wheat allowing for nuttiness and reduced hop edges, with mango, pineapple and tangerine lingering.
Fruity, juicy, amply bitter as NP is apt to be. Soft, dense, thick and wheaty with excellent depth and attenuation. Round and fruity, clean and shining with bright Citra notes of all complexity.
