16 oz can from the brewery, 5/20/20. Canned 5/13/20. Fully hazed bright yellow color, white head, mid-plus lace. Aroma is zesty orange accompanied by tropical fruit. Guava, mango, and stone fruit all coming through, some pineapple and grapefruit notes as well. Not too sweet, just the right amount of bitter. Smooth, clean, very drinkable. Another winner in this near perfect series from the Source.

16 oz can from the Source, 5/13/20. Pours a fully hazed dark yellowish color with a cream colored head and some moderate-plus lacework. Damn did they nail the strawberry-banana flavor here. The kiwi comes through as well, but the strawberry-banana is amazingly clear at how strongly it comes through in the aroma and flavor. Lactose isn't super strong, but noticeable in the creamy, smooth feel. Pretty excellent, especially if you love the strawberry-banana combo.

16 oz can from the Source, 4/30/20. Canned 4/23/20. Pours a fully hazed yellowish-orange color, white head, moderate, spotty lacework. The aroma is peach, melon, and apricot juiciness, with some juice mango and orange as well. Juicy goodness all over the place without being overly sweet. Smooth, clean, excellent mouthfeel overall. Drinks way way too easy for an 8%er. This is really excellent. This series (at least the 4 of the 6 I have been able to get my hands on) has been one of my favorites any brewery has done overall. The base beer here seems to work great to showcase every single hop they have picked, and this may be the best one yet. Excellent.

16 oz can from the Source, 4/28/20. Canned 4/16/20. Rather murky pinkish-purple kind of color, fizzy / frothy off-white head. Bright juice of berries here over some wheat, citrus, and a little bit of spice. Sweet, but not overly so, a little tart. Really tasty stuff. Surprised to say this is my favorite of the 3 (original + the citrus variant), I had expected to prefer the citrus, but this one works really well.

16 oz can from the Source, 4/23/20. Bright, hazy golden-orange color, frothy white head. So much orange going on here, bright, refreshing and very floral, with citrus zest and wheat, and a little lime. Fruity, floral, and slightly tart flavor. Quality stuff, especially if you like orange.

16 oz can from the brewery. Canned 4/16/20. Drinking it 4/18/20. Tasty beer, great cause. First one of these I've gotten my hands on, hope to try more of them and support a good cause at the same time. Fully hazed yellowish color, white head, moderate-plus, sticky lace. Grapefruit, pineapple, and a little stone fruit as well. Resiny too. Sweet up front. Finishes a little bitter, providing some balance. Smooth, creamy, oat IPA feel. Definitely hitting the Other Half marks with some Source thrown in for good measure. Pretty tasty stuff, and fairly easy drinking too. Supporting a good cause while drinking some tasty hop juice, what's not to like? 8/4/9/4/17

16 oz can from the brewery, 4/13/20. Pours a dark brown cola-like color, fizzy tan-brown head, not much lace. Rich and fairly sweet, with banana, clove, raisin, date, molasses, caramel, toffee. Some rye spice too. Tons going on here. Pretty good feel. Pretty good beer, but I think it may have worked better slightly less sweet and slightly less boozy. 8/4/7/3/15

16 oz can from the Source, consumed 3/24/20, canned yesterday, picked up fresh from the brewery today. In these crazy times you gotta support the little guy and the local guy, and I'm doing that by making the ultimate sacrifice (drinking delicious beer from probably my favorite brewery within a 30 minute drive of my house). Perhaps ultimate sacrifice is a bit strong... Anyway, as for this beer, it pours bright yellow, hazy, with a nice foamy froth of bright white head that leaves fairly coating lace on the glass. A pretty damn enticing looking beer here. Aroma of bright lemon, straw, grass, and some underlying tropical fruitiness. Flavor is along the same lines, bright, fairly hoppy, and quite refreshing. Flavor might be slightly thinner than some of their higher ABV beers, but the bright, crisp feel is excellent. Great outdoor drinking beer. 8/5/7/5/16
