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 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.

Brewery lukr, 4/25/25.
Clear brass. Small, white head.
Not super aromatic, though it is served very cold. Some Czech yeast giving off plaster and basement/earth with a bit of white grape and a mix of honey and fresh biscuit. What's there is well-done and clean.
Bright and richly-hopped with a pleasing maltiness and dry finish with lovely yeastiness. Biscuit, herb, flower, honey. Dainty, flavorful and clean.

Brewery draught, 4/25/25.
Clear, small white head.
Lightly tart with good apple character. But of sourdough and vanilla. Good mineral. Light funk.
Soft and very fruity with a lot of vanilla character and not as dry as expected. Good acidity though not really tart. Chewy, almost creamy texture. A bit of powdered sugar detracts slightly, on the end.
