$3.80 pint can, WW. Hazy pale gold with a large, soft white head. Lemon-lime zest, tropical fruit notes in the nose. Lemon zest, floral hops, dandelion, cardboard. Actually quite nice... that bit of cardboard goes away quickly and finishes very floral.

Pint can, WW. Infected perhaps? This thing started oozing as soon as it popped open. Pours hazy gold with a giant white head. Nose is green grasses, floral notes, tart fruit. Flavor is citrus peel, green grasses, green leaf, green green green flavors. Not infected, so dunno what was up with the carbonation level.

$2.80 can, WW. Hazy pale gold with a soft white head. Nose is coffee grounds, vanilla, green grasses and leaves. Flavor is coffee grounds, vanilla, light fruit. It's fine, but the flavor combinations don't wow me.

Draft at Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewing. Poured a super murky color - kind of looks like some kind of opaque tropical fruit juice. Aroma was huge guava, pineapple, apricot. Super juicy. Not too acidic. Not too tart for that matter. Very pleasant though.

Draft at Back Bay's Farmhouse Brewing. Poured a super red, like almost ruby-crimson red with a very small off-white head. Aroma was huge cherries. Big cherry skin, with some acidic citrus. Flavor was actually very light cherry. Lime tartness in the finish. Pleasant and easy to drink.

Light citrus and some salt. Easy drinking and not much to this. Golden pour with decent head, some haze. Light tang in finish. Tap thanks to Mansquito.
