Hazy, amber. Light tartness...okay it's actually fairly acidic. The pineapple comes across in a variety of ways, including stone fruit. I kind of like the idea of this beer.

Light tartness, decent cherry. Quite acidic, acetic, as is about the norm for this brewery.

Purple, hazy, no head. Deep berry character. Somewhat acetic, light tartness. Lots of berry, though.

Slight haze. Pale amber. Light body. Juicy character, I imagine from the blood orange. Better than the Russian River beer of the same name that I had a couple of weeks ago.
