16 oz. can. Aroma shows soft chocolate and raspberry. The flavor is equal parts chocolate, vanilla and lasting raspberry and the finish. Personally I could do without the lactose but the Brewer pulls off the raspberry dessert. It does taste really good!

16 oz. can. Aroma is floral and pine. Flavor shows a little bit of bread malt to go with a ridiculous amount of floral and pine hops. I bought this knowing it was a West Coast style IPA. Yep. I confirm I still I don’t want to drink a West Coast IPA.

16 oz. can. Nose of rye bread, apple, toffee. Taste is bready, warming to light spice, nuts and again slight apple. After taste is like rye bread. Decent example of the style.

Hazy bright orange-brown body, thin-medium dense cream head. Aroma gummy and tropical with notes of lychee. Body juicy, tropical, with guava, lychee, melon, berries, and lime on a bready, doughy backdrop. Very nice.

Pours a nice hazy gold from a can. Big pine aroma, some stone fruit. Similar flavor, pretty good beer.

Pours light clear mahogany into a shaker. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving no lacing. Dark caramel aromas. Soft with sweet molasses, toasted brown bread and dark dried pit fruit upfront turning to mild, dry clove in the lasting finish.

16 oz can. Galaxy hops dominate this beer. Quite honestly what I’m drinking doesn’t match the Brewer’s description. This is heavily floral with pine-like resin that last throughout the sip. The fruit is barely noticeable. I also have no idea how the the can is. Yeaaaaaaah, not a fan.

16 oz can. Aroma is mixed berries. The flavor manages to show a good amount of plum with the berries. The vanilla finish is slightly sweet. It is what you would expect from a fruited sour with milk sugar.

Old can. (16 oz.) Everything still works out. Aroma shows bready malt with some lemon citrus. Texture is crisp but also grainy. Shows mild black pepper in the backend of the sip. It is completely acceptable.
