Can (3/6/24) pour from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. Hazy, golden yellow with light sparkle, full head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong sweet/tart tropical fruit. Taste matches aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Don't love the tart aspect of this. Not sure this is what the new hop combo is supposed to produce, if age of hops slightly changing it or what but not a place I want to go.

16oz can. Nice stuff. Floral, pleasant noble hope tone. Easy, medium body. Crackery, clean malt tone. Solid lagering. Hyper sessionable, but some nice depth too. Good stuff.

16oz can. A good APA. How about that. Sort or a rarity these days. Makes you want to go see a good band or 4 for 6 bucks and drink at a bar until 2am. Great balance, almost an IPL/Kolsch type feel. Great balance. Good stuff.

Pour is a orange-red with a large white head. Aroma is musty malt. Flavor is a slight toasted malt with a little smoke but not much beyond that. It's not sweet or bitter just kind of plain. My can said this is now 4.7%.

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2024. Thx... maybe Rafa? Golden body, white head. Salty-lactic aroma, light spicy notes. BIt dusty but clean lightly herbal-spicy and citric salty taste, quite well balanced in tartness. A well made gose all in all!

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2024. Slightly golden body, white head. Floral and herbal aroma. Herbal, floral taste, lightly minerally-salty, bitterish. Nice overall! Hah, had it noted as Table Salt, but my notes said a very obviously different story... ah late festival moments.
