16 oz can from the Source, 8/8/20. Canned 8/5/20, what a long strange trip it's been. Fully hazed yellowish-orange color, nice white head, heavy lace. Incredibly juicy stuff, lots of hop berry goodness, with tropical, melon, and citrus hop juice coming through as well. Drinks smooth, clean, and pillowy. Hides the 9% so well it could be very very dangerous. Fairly sweet, not much bitterness. Delicious overall.

16 oz can from the Source, 8/8/20. Canned 7/29/20. Hazy gold, white head, plenty of lace. Aroma is on style with lots of clove, wheat, and banana. Beyond those flavors, some lemon and spice notes linger on the tongue. Not a ton of diversity in this style, and this one is no exception, but everything is done well here.

16 oz can from the Source, 8/8/20. Canned on 8/5/20, The Secret is Out. Hazy yellowish color, bright white head. Thick, white head that coats the glass in heavy lace. Aroma is fruity and sweet, pineapple, orange, some peach / apricot notes, and a little candied sugar. Definitely drinks sweet and flavorful. This series really never disappoints.

16 oz can from the Source, 8/8/20. Canned 7/29/20. The pour is a slightly hazed yellow with a really nice thick froth of foamy white head. Bright pine, resin, grapefruit, and a little melon. Drinks easy, smooth and clean, with a nice dryness to the close. Really tasty stuff. Shots fired across the Stone bow with this one. I'm not going to pretend I know enough to say who's at fault with the Stone / Sawstone thing, but I guess it took this situation to get Source to make a West Coast IPA, and I'm just glad they made one.

16 oz can from the brewery, 7/29/20, canned 7/15/20. Fully hazed yellowish-orange, sheeting head, drippy lacework. Fruity aroma of orange, melon, grapefruit, cherry, and little stone fruit too. Gets slightly metallic on the close. Still pretty good, but the last couple in this series haven't been quite up to the standards of the earlier ones.

16 oz can from the Source, 7/22/20, canned 7/15/20. Fully hazed white-yellowish color, creamy white head, and fairly strong lace. Big juicy aroma and taste of grapefruit, passion fruit, and mango. The oat whip thing here is pretty interesting, not something I've seen a ton of, but it does really have a fluffy, smooth, creaminess to it that is reminiscent a lactose, but also somewhat different. Really interesting. I like this one a lot, and I'm curious to see other examples show up in the future. I'm certainly not against any trend that decreases the use of lactose in beer.

16 oz can from the brewery, 7/15/20, canned 7/8/20. Fully hazed yellowish-orange color with a thick head and strong lace. Exactly what you'd expect, tons of vanilla to go along with orange juice. So sweet, so juicy. Tasty, but could use something to balance out the sweetness.

16 oz can from the brewery, 7/15/20. Pours a fully hazed yellowish color with a nice, thick, frothy white head that coats the glass in a ton of lace. Melon, resin, grapefruit, and bright tropical hops as well. Not as much pine and resin as I expected from a Bob Marley beer to be honest. Flavor hits all the juice hop notes just fine. Very good, but something is missing I can't quite put my finger on when compared to the previous beers in this music series.

16 oz cans from the Source, 7/9/20. Rating #8888! Sadly I missed out on the glass that went along with this one, it looked cool. Pours a bright, hazy golden color with a white head and some fairly strong lace. Grapefruit, pineapple, and some orange. Pretty decent overall, but for some reason low ABV hoppy beers don't come out nearly as quality as the rest of what they make.
