Pint can, WW. Hazy gold with a small off-white head. Nose is pot, vanilla, pine, citrus peel, mango, pineapple... and this is all discerned from the spot I've poured the beer (meaning I haven't even lifted it to my nose at this point). Lifting it up, additional aroma of peach and melon. Whoa. Flavor is strong. Melon, orange peel, pine, mango, resin, mint?

Pint can, WW. Gold, lots of carbonation, small off-white head. Nose is hair salon, light apricot. Flavor is bubblegum, green and grown grasses, yeast, hint of apricot. I mean it's fine, but the apricot is so faint it's almost an afterthought.

Pint can, WW. Hazy pale god with a white head. Grain, cracker, bread, wheat nose, a hint of coriander, but nose is mostly grain/wheat. Wet cardboard, what, hint of coriander... this is a huge miss.

Pint can, WW. Pale gold, light haze, large off-white head. Strawberry, brackish water, lightly funky fruit. Strawberry, lemon zest, salt. Prickly carbonation. EDITING TO ADD: Poured the last little bit into my glass and there was a chunk of strawberry came out... so this one is really unfiltered.
