Can from Dasha: pours yellow with white head. Aroma is mango and sour ale style hoppiness. Taste is generally fine. Has a little hay finish, but for an Abolitionist beer this is fine.

Can from Dasha: pours gold with white head. Honey is honey, wood, tequila. Pretty strong taste that doesn't seem to be poorly crafted but the taste is really strong and not super easy to drink. I guess it is fine, but not for me.

Can from Dasha: pours reddish copper with a white head. Aroma is blackberry and rosemary. Base beer is fine. Not too sweet over it. Rosemary is pretty subtle.

Can from Dasha: pours black with a beige head. Light minty notes, loads of chocolate. Taste is actually better than I thought it would be.

From Dasha: pours orange with white head. Aroma is orange and chocolate. Still a drainpour, but not as blatantly undrinkable as the blue, which was truly terrible in all respects.

Can from Dasha: pours black with a beige head. Light blueberry notes, plenty of dark chocolate, and, I guess, hickory. Chocolatey with blueberry tinge. Somewhat sweet. Fruity. Pretty drinkable.

From Dasha: pours rusty red with small head. Aroma is chocolate, blueberry and lacto. Taste is like a tootsie pop in pretty much all the worst ways. I have nothing else to say. Drainpour.

From Dasha: pours amber with nice beige head. Aroma is woody, very spicy, some fruitiness from cherries. Taste is sweet. Taste is not too sweet, lightly bitter, woody, dark fruitiness without the chewiness. At first I wasn't a huge fan but this grew on me.

Can from Dasha: pours cool looking bright red with a pink head. Funky beet aroma. Taste is sour beets. Earthy. Weird abolitionist maltiness. Not great. My wife remarked: ":do they taste their own beer?"
