16 oz can. Aroma is vanilla, grapefruit, pine. Pours hazy golden with a one finger cream-white head with excellent retention. Taste is highly bitter with flavors of vanilla and grapefruity/piney hops; a note of coconut on the back end. Really tasty.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour, small white foamy head. Fruity, juicy aroma, orange, tangerine. Taste follows with a full on juicy vibe, oranges, tangerine, clementine. Light pithy notes and kind of dry. Really hits the spot.

Becher of pulp. Rocky white head. Nose is solid, but has a minty note or toothpaste that I associate with Motueka or other new world hops that aren't simcoe. Some wheat, perfume, very floral. Flavor is a bit more clear, citrus arrives along with some pineapple. Grassy, wheaty, light malt too. Finishes medium bodied, a little starch, a little hop burn. 9 7 7 7 7

16 oz. can. Thick peach purée that thankfully is not clumpy on the pour.
Aroma is pure natural peach with a mild sourness underneath. Flavor is a mixture of sweet and sour peach. The vegan soft serve ice cream is only noticeable in the texture. Not much vanilla in the flavor. This is all peach.

Can pour shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Lightly hazy, golden yellow, no sparkle, thin head fading to a ring, no lacing. Aroma is wheat, orange, coriander. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Nice wheat ale with subtle nuances if you're patient enough to wait for them.

16 oz. can. Slightly hazy golden appearance. Nose shows wheat and soft coriander seed. Flavor is soft oranges, mild wheat and a soft “ Sleepy Time Tea “ hint. A very simple and straightforward wheat ale.

16 oz can. Hazy yellow appearance. Aroma is soft, white grape on top of grapefruit. Flavor follows with a little bit of tropical fruit. Citrus peel bitterness. A certain amount of juicy character that also shows a little bit of a stringency.
