Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish honey gold with a finger of white foam. Musty, dried Meyer lemon aromas with oak, mineral and light toasted banana notes. Well rounded with more mineral and light pepper notes surrounded by orange zest and more dried lemon notes. A little sweetness, but drying finish with nice attenuation. Quite dry lingering pepper and mineral notes on the palate.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear gold with a small bit of white foam that dissipates. Nice lacing on the glass though. Mango, pineapple and pine notes from the Azacca on the nose. Crisp and clean, light-bodied and super crushable. Medium bitterness on the dry-ish finish with a touch of pepper and pith. Very enjoyable pale ale from Hopewell.

8 oz. 4-pack from Prestige. My narrow lager flute made the pale straw color look even more pale, with a big white foamy head. There's a nose of very light malt and noble hop pepper, and possibly some corn adjunct to add alcohol but lighten the color. The taste is what you'd remember as your dad beer—light in the malts, with a little sting from hop. There's a slight note of Pils style soft water chloride, which can be to style. This bit o'fluff was here and gone quickly, leaving a slightly bitter hop aftertaste. One day, the weather will stay warm, and we'll appreciate this all the more.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates quickly. Dank, tropical fruit on the nose with durian, peach and pineapple aromas. Grainy notes on the palate with more tropical fruit and light pine and grassy bitterness towards the finish. Light and refreshing.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear silver straw color with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Oak aromas with grassy hops and crackery malt. Crisp and clean on the palate with a slightly oaky, grainy texture on the palate. Lingering wood, grass and pepper on the finish with a nice peppery, bitter punch.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear straw gold with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Light coconut aromas with strong tea leaf notes and paper. Lowish carbonation....almost flat to be honest. Cardboard and more tea leaf flavors. Quick finish with tea astringency.

Stubby can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Light straw aromas with some sweet malt notes as it warms. Easy drinking, medium carbonation with some light sweet notes next to some mild pepper and grassy bitterness. Light peppery bitterness on the finish. Enjoyable.
