Can shared by tfontana. Thank you MUCH Tom! Cloudy yellow appearance. Aroma of bold mango, oranges, some mild bread malt.
The fruit is here in the flavor with a subtle floral bouquet undertones. Soft mouthfeel is a medium body. Drinks lighter than 8%. The floral tones makes it different. I like the change up with this mystery hop.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance is as shown in the picture.
Aroma: mixed citrusy to piney hop noted up front then subtle pineapple with an ever so slight and disappearing at times light "candy-ish" fruity hop whiff; barely any malts noticed
Flavor: starts fairly bitter through piney and mixed citrusy rind-like tones then seems to get a sweet-ish pineapple taste and ends up melding within a little bit more sips; finishes with a little bit of stickiness and pineapple sweetness
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with that stickiness coming back to show some presence; good low-ish carb; medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: seems to be "tracking" for the most part of a NEIPA but if anything the brewer could pull a bit of the hop bitterness assertiveness in the feel down just a little bit.

Can from CBC Liquors, Westford. Cloudy, banana smoothie yellow, tons of sparkle, decent head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, pineapple rind, apricot, faintest hint of cat box. Taste is strong pineapple rind over citrus. Smooth, somewhat watery texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Aroma and taste are fine--not super interesting--but mouthfeel is a little off. OK.

Can from CBC Liquors, Westford. Opaque, milky yellow with nice sparkle working its way through large globs of yeast in suspension, thin head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is tangerine, passion fruit, milder candied tropical fruit, late bread. Taste is super strong tangerine, stone fruit, tropical fruit, mild grainy malt. Smooth texture, lively carbonation, juicy finish with mild yeasty, bitter offset. Looks like hell. Smells/tastes much better than that.

Pours a deep mahogany with a one finger lingering off white head. Malty spicy ginger toffee aroma. The flavor is quite sweet. Caramel, spice, malt. Full body.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick looking dark orangey color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head that didn't stick around too long and barely left any lace.
Aroma: fresh rosemary - full and leafy with the tangerines on the secondary level with the cranberries further in the back, light grainy tones with a wheaty base
Flavor: melds all those aromas together in a fantastic sweet and semi-savory way. Finishes with the rosemary and cranberry sweetness while the tangerines seem to bounce to back
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability about this. Lovely semi-thick smoothness rolling over the tongue.
Overall: funny, I was expecting some tartness from the cranberries but that never showed up. I would very much so return to this.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold color with a small white head and decent retention. Decent lacing. Standard pale malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Standard pale malt flavor, with a light bready finish. As advertised, it's a good, basic, anytime beer. Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness.
