Milky orange body, thin cream head. Nose big tropical fruit (passionfruit and papaya, especially) and orange rind. Body tart, juicy, earthy, with tropical fruit and some underlying oniony herbal character. Very good.

Murky, pulpy strawberry-pink body, thin cream-pink-orange head. Nose mineraly with lactose and bananas. The body is a creamy banana base with sharper tart fruit accents, including peach, mango, and presumably dragonfruit (not sure I could pick that one out individually). Also some dusty grassiness.

Deep, murky elderberry-purple body, thin clumpy purple head. Thick pour. Tons of tart raspberries in the nose, with hints of cocoa. Body tart, lots of fruit, but more balanced than the nose with blackberries and blueberries; the chocolate, too, is more pronounced, and the overall theme is chocolate-covered berries.

Translucent straw body, medium cream head. Nose light, herbal. Body dank, spicy-leafy, toasty, and oily, with subdued fermented fruits. Pretty good.

Murky deep orange body, thin cream head with nice lacing. Aroma citrus rind (pink grapefruit), berries, tropical fruits, and onion. Body is crazy soft and creamy-sweet, with umami, pink grapefruit, stone fruits, and a modest oniony backdrop. A thick treat.

16oz (thx, Brian C.!) @ Phill's. Appearance: murky golden with a white head. Aroma: very fruity and juicy, lots of citruses, some stone fruits. Taste: along the same lines, low to moderately sweet, nice tropical fruits mix. Overall: quite refreshing and nice.

Poured from 473mL can. Cloudy yellow with small white head. Mild juiciness, light tropical hops, fair bit of chalk here, not great for a DIPA.

16 oz. can, pours an opaque peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of pithy stone fruits, bitter citrus, and a hint of dankness. Flavour is fairly juicy, with juicy stone fruits, some chalkiness, some yeast, and citrus zest. Juicy but rather chalky and muddled. Good.

Bottle thanks to Brian. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong vanilla, bourbon, wood, spice. Slick body, vanilla, chocolate, roast, boozy, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.
