16oz can. Thick, true look. Had my doubts about the hop bill but it works pretty well, adding some earthy tones with mild tropical subtleties. Not juicy or particularly bright, very oaty and mild. Pretty good for a Hazy Pale.

16oz can. I'm a sucker for anything with Moutere so I was eager to try this. Moutere is distant. Mosaic is as well. Michigan Chinook is most prominent with a softer, almost more Strata-like feel than NW Chinook. Decent hop depth, but a lifeless, bland body kind of brings it down. No balance. Moutere helps keep it interesting.

16oz can. Murky dulled grey-orange body. Steady, soapy, white head. Soft on the palate, juicy. Kind of muted. Pleasantly not too oaty. Not really a true hazy, but sort of. Easy drinking OK sweet IPA.

Aromas are slightly mild blend of citrus, resin and malt. Flavors are similar to nose, citrusy sweet up front, then resin comes out more with decent carbonation and some bitter to balance. Pretty good beer.

Pint can from Festival Northland, 10/21/23. Hazy bronze, medium white head, average retention. Aroma of grapefruit, toast, lemon, dank. A little weird. Taste is melon, tangerine grapefruit, pale malt. Juicy, low bitterness.

16oz can. Hop choice seems odd. Not really a Hazy IPA...maybe just a sweet IPA? Hops are quite inappropriate for the style, more like a failed beer from 20 years ago. Zeus is hard to work with. Another shabby one from Young Blood.

Aromas are tart peaches and apricots with maybe some graham cracker. Flavors are similar to nose, more tart than sweet. Never had sour cobbler. Not bad but I think the name is a misnomer.

Aromas are a slightly old blend of resin and citrus hops. Flavors are similar to nose, losing a bit of the age and on the sweet side.

Aromas and flavors are straightforward American wheat beer. A little fruity and a bit on the sweet side. Nothing special but drinkable.

16oz can. The least gimmicky style I have had from them, but it still comes off sickly sweet and alco-pop like. Horrible aroma, Super sweet, pretty much tastes like malt extract. You would make a better homebrew extract beer. Not impressive.
