16 oz. can purchased at Greg & Jane’s, Epping. Color is reddish / purple. Aroma is salt, mild berries, and blueberry yogurt. The flavor is the same as aroma. Good tartness with a high salinity throughout. The high amount of salt is a tad distracting.

16 oz. can purchased at Greg & Jane’s, Epping. Thick carbonated orange juice appearance. Aroma shows baked white bread, mango, pineapple chunks, mild earthy hints

The flavor is forward in Galaxy hops. Has some juicy texture. Chewy oat like mouthfeel. Flavor wise, this is the best beer I’ve had from this brewery.

16 oz. can purchased at Greg & Jane’s, Epping. Typical cloudy appearance. Aroma shows light citrus, topical fruit, mild malt.

Weak citrus, mild pineapple, ends astringent. The texture wants to be juicy. Almost accomplished that. Pretty good attempt.

16 oz. can. Purchased at Greg & Janes. Stamped “inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde” on the bottom. Color is a strange tinge of reddish pink/ orange. The flavor tastes like a kettle sour with funky fruit and a dash of hops. The finish still has a moderate amount of lactic acid and sourness. I knew what I was buying when I took this to the counter.

16 oz. can. Purchased at Greg & Janes. Stamped 7-27-18. Totally murky appearance. Aroma of bread, yeast, and grass. Flavor is a reflection. Bready malt base, mild yeast and a mild lingering grassy finish. Mosaic shows here. Body is a touch thin. In a highly competitive IPA market this falls in the “rather average” category.

16 oz can purchased at Prost! Aroma shows candied orange, resin, light grassy Mosaic. Mouthfeel shows a mild chewy oat. The finish really shows a moderate sweetness. After it warms, real sweet. Meh
