Can. Orange, no head. Smells like Fanta but has a little lick of sourness that makes it drinkable for an adult. Pithy finish. Could have used a few more bubbles. OK.

Schooner on tap at brewery. Black as sin, thin head of foam. Faint aroma of cherry and chocolate. Easy to drink, light body. Fruity, definitely cherry but not in your face. Fizzy mouthfeel. A little coffee and sourness in the finish. Very nice, dangerously drinkable.

Schooner on tap at brewery. Golden amber beer with a thin white head. High fine carbonation. Nice complex nose, caramel, fruit, dankness. Good body, medium texture, fruity taste. Finish is more fruit with balancing bitterness. Very nice APA.

I'm getting very little. Some light bitterness and light tropical notes are about the extent of it.

Can. Gold with a white head that fades fast. Shy aroma with grass, nectarines, crackers. So it tastes, with some peppery bitterness at the end. The malt lacks shape and the hopping is a bit tentative, but it's OK.

9/10/2022. Can from Beer Cartel. Pours very dark mahogany brown with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is hoppy, toffee, roasted malt, chocolate, biscuit, nut, pine, wax. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Moderate body, slightly watery, quite fizzy. Nice aroma/looks but faded.

(Can) Pours slightly hazy golden with small white head. Fairly subtle hoppy aroma. Medium body with plenty of fine carbonation giving a great mouthfeel. Good taste. Hops from start to finish. Even though the taste is predominantly hops, the bitterness is fairly restrained primarily in a long finish. There’s some nice citrus notes and some biscuit malt hiding under those hops. Very nice.

Can. Another purple beer. Very pretty. A modest pink head. Fruity aroma with peach, grapes, over-ripe pineapple, spices. Drinks like an IPA with some stewed and dried fruit in it but perhaps without the body. It's moderately sweet before bitterness and some tea closes things up at the end. Interesting, pretty good.

Can. Clear golden amber with a fading cm of white head. Gentle peach and orange aroma with some mango. Light bread with peach and orange before a moderately bitter herbal pine finish. Nice but doesn't offer enough for its strength.
