Pint can, WW. Murky burnt orange, juicelike, no head. Passionfruit, guava, pineapple, lime nose. Flavor is... oh this is different. White grape, passionfruit, guava, lime zest, pine... quite interesting, definitely not a common flavor profile. Sour, but not acid-reflux-inducing (hopefully).

Fairly light blonde coloured body with a great straw haze and some deeper raw honey colours, along with a thicker two to three centimetre tall tan and off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, resin, light pine, flowers, grass and a deep herbal kick and a plentiful amount of both malt and alcohol. Medium-bodied; Very juicy flavour at first of citrus, full oranges, grass, hay, flowers, resin and some deeper sugars, more pungent and almost medicinal malts and a healthy bite and warmth of alcohol on the tail end. Aftertaste is relatively straight-forward with the floral and piney aspects the strongest, along with a hearty bite of alcohol and pungent grapefruit and lemon zest that brings out a nice bit of fruitiness, but nothing tropical or juicy on the finish. Overall, a relatively solid Imperial-ish IPA with a good layer of both bitterness and flavours from hops, while striking a good balance. Nice to try, especially while fresh and while it didn't disappoint, I wouldn't try to find this one again. I sampled this pint-sized, sixteen ounce can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 19-June-2020 for US$5,30 sampled at my house here in Washington on 05-July-2020.

$4.90 pint can, WW. Four hops, but just called Mosaic. Murky orange with a large white head. Juicy orange, pineapple, other tropical fruit, melon nose. Flavor is melon, grapefruit peel, bitter tropical fruit, green leaf, green melon rind, booze. Too boozy and too much meloniness to be truly enjoyable.

$2.85 pint can, WW. Hazy pale gold with almost a pinkish hue, small white head. Whoa, there's that effing calamansi again, I still don't know what it is but I sure did like it in that overpriced Adroit juice-bomb I had recently, along with some light pine - again probably that calamansi, tart fruit - calamansi, and that's it in the nose. It's all calamansi. Flavor is what I assume is calamansi, this time (unlike Adroit), it's somewhat tart... has a bit of citrus and pine feel to it. Damn, perhaps all cheap lagers should just add calamansi. Hell, go further, go Mad Dog 20/20 Calamansi, or Mickey's Calamansi. CALAMANSI! I will now buy any beer with this strange fruit. Hell, I just burped and it tasted good.

$2.65 can, WW. Pours hazy gold with a head that quickly disappears. Grapefruit (somewhat candied), floral hops in the nose. Flavor hops, green grasses, grapefruit juice and peel, light soapiness in the finish.

Pint can, WW. Hazy golden with an off-white head. Mix of fresh and funky citrus in the nose. Flavor is citrus peel, lime zest, lactose, pine, stone fruit? (there's an extra flavor in there I can't quite place). Totally drinkable but not a high priority to find.

$5.25 pint can, WW. THICK, black, small brown head. Dark chocolate, nuts, vanilla, cream. Flavor is bourbon, cola, chocolate, vanilla, caramel, cocoa. Surprisingly hides the alcohol extremely well: this is not a booze bomb. Well done.
