473mL can (thanks Matt). Pours an opaque dull orange with a white head. Lots of guava and passionfruit on the nose. Flavour has thick guava and passionfruit, some citrus acidity, plenty of lacto. Not the worst kettle sour, but pretty thick; staggers around the palate like a drunkard.

Poured from 473mL can. Cloudy dull yellow with full white head. Subdued citrus and tropical hops, a sort of biscuity wheat-like base. Sort of yeasty. Average.

Poured from 473mL can (2025 release). Near black with dissipating beige head. Aroma of gentle roast malt with mild toasted coconut and chocolate. Taste is fairly toasted coconut forward, almost dry-ish upfront, like more husky coconut and light roast, transitions into a mild sweeter coconut with some residual dark sugars on the backend. Decent, but a touch muted.

Opaque, thick head. Bright grapefruit and salmonberry, modest bitterness…seems sweet even for Widowmaker.

Opaque and rather pale. There’s a goodly amount of nelson on the nose but it’s telling me I’m in for some hop burn. On the palate a nondescript hazy…limited malt, mild hop burn and an overall lack of brightness.

Bright gold, thin head. Has a mellow pale malt, light bitterness. A bit of saaz. Sort of a random North American attempt at a czech pils.
