Canned 6/20/25, drunk 8/28/25.
Murky raspberry-blood orange. Head instantly vanishes.
Nothing punchy with real fruit puree, it seems. Gentle fruit acidity instead of lactic acidity. Good depth with a soft wheat-like character and gentle salinity.
Cracker, biscuit, wheat, that sort of thing. Juicy fruit with a bit of saccharine/smartees/powdered sugar. Citrusy and with gentle raspberry juice and low all-around acidity. A fine kettle sour.

7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Caned 6/30/25, drunk 8/24/25.
Heavily hazy, pale brass-blonde-golden. Slightly milky. Big, frothy, off-white head.
Lightly earthy/yeast, quite fruity but with a spicy undercurrent backed by a touch of pine and wood. Moderate, zesty tropical fruit is quite aromatic and it's clean with lots of cracker and light white bread-like maltiness that seems well-attenuated.
Pineapple up front with strong bitterness to follow. Deep malts, but well-attenuated with just a touch of honey-like character. Spice, pepper, unripe tropical fruit rind and light pine/wood. Nicely balanced and appropriately bitter. Good and juicy with a balanced finish.

7.5/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
Canned 6/13/25, drunk 8/23/25.
Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden. Small, off-white head.
Nose shows lots of juicy, ripe tropical fruit and juicy citrus but also some balancing pine, with ample biscuit and cracker-like malts. Clean.
Soft, though with some cracker to it to break up the big malts. Very juicy with prominent citrus and ripe pineapple-papaya. Again, there's a nod to some pine acidity that maybe doesn't quite go far enough, but helps keep it drinkable.

That’s delicious! It’s not overly tart but it’s very smooth.

16oz can from Geissler's. Hazy yellow pour, skin of fine white head. Light tropical fruit aroma, oranges. Taste is zesty bitter, fruity notes fading into the background. Finishes dry with a little bit of mouth coating.
