Single can from Binny's. Detectable tinge of pink in the pour, and in the foam. Foam kicks up pretty big, over an amber beer with those pink highlights. Nose itself is not too tart. I do pick up some of the flower and tropical fruit here. But rather mild. Basically light, fruity and flowery. Just a tiny but of tartness.

Mix-a-6 can from Binny's. Pours an amber color, just a little hazy, under a big, spongy head. Some decent American Pale Ale hop nose, not a hop bomb, but balanced by a malty nose as well. Taste is solid APA style, mice and malty with a balance of Pacific hops. Maybe not a hop burn by any standard, but a good hoppy beer.
