12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/23/2018. Pours fairly murky pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, strawberry, peach, pear, passion fruit, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, strawberries, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, strawberry, peach, pear, passion fruit, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light toast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness; and slight fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, strawberry, peach, pear, passion fruit, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, strawberries, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.3%. Overall this is a delicious fruited/hoppy blonde ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, strawberries, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Not as big on the strawberries as expected, but adequate. Fuggle and Motueka hops. Great balance of juicy strawberries and vibrant/dank/earthy hops; with a nice pale/wheat malt backbone for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Draft. A- Bland. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Bitter, creamy, mild apricot. P- Medium body, thick texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- I didn't get any juniper or hibiscus in here, not even in the appearance, only a little apricot. My brother in law got lots of juniper but no apricot. One of us is confused apparently, or maybe it's both. Okay. For the ingredients, a lot more could be accomplished.

Draft. A- Fruity, caramel. A- Red orange color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Malty, boozy, fruity. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, boozy finish. O- Okay. A bit bland and may benefit from being barrel aged. Seems more like a base beer that would do well with some adjuncts. Lots for fruity caramel and booze.

O- A bit of an odd aroma with a cat litter and sand like nose, but really pretty tasty. Traditional no frills stout that is a bit different in it's own way but it works.

Draft. A- Berries. A- A- Berries, wheat, sweet. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish. O- Lots of mixed berries. This hardly tastes like a gose and more like a wheat or fruit beer. Not a fan as it's too overloaded with berries to taste anything else.
