Aromas are a nice slightly tart blend of guava and pineapple. Flavors are similar to nose with guava coming on stronger, backed with pineapple. Overall tart with enough sweet to balance. Decent body and a slightly sweet finish. Nice.

9 oz Tulip draft at The Peanut in Mission, Kansas. The pour is a slight haze of golden amber with a solid, lasting, one inch white head. Nice thick lace left behind on the glass. The aroma is leafy, herbal and grass. The taste is mineral earth, herbal, leaf, grassy, soft lemon and finishes with the herbal. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and the mineral earth finish. Fresh and tasty.

The write-up sells the beer pretty good, let us see if it holds up. 12 oz can from my local beer shop, all ready to go inside of a snifter. I see an opaque, yellow liquid with a a slender skim of almost white foam. The smell is not bad, tropical fruit, grain and a touch of hops. I take a drink, hmm, actually nicely done. Melon, juice, a surprising amount of hops, apricots, some amount of malt, lemon and white bread. Some sweet and an offsetting amount of bitter. I call this a pleasant beer after a series of IPA disappointments.

12oz can. Pretty straightforward session beer, a step up from macro. A tad sweet for the style, approaching Cream Ale. More of a sweet boi than a crispy one. Drinkable, but is it really necessary to court macro drinkers with something mediocre? Definitely a crushable 6pack. A little disappointing overall.

12 oz. can from Total Wine in San Antonio, TX. Pours a cloudy gold color with an off-white head and good retention. Minor lacing. Soft peach aroma. The taste follows the nose: Light, natural peach flavor in a sturdy blonde body. Tastes more like a wheat ale versus a blonde ale, IMHO. Medium body. Above average carbonation. Zero bitterness. Not too fruity. Good balance.

Draught @ GO Tavern, Chicago (9/18/23). Cloudy dark yellow with a very small frothy off-white head that flops down very fast, faintly citrusy aroma, high carbonation, lightly sour taste with guava, elderberry, floral hops, smooth thin body, long smooth finish. Very smooth though a bit thin.
