Can from Dasha: pours clear light red with whitish headz aroma is tootsie pop, with mild berry notes. Fortunately not overly sour or sweet, which lets the bad taste go down easier. A little salty. Bad.

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.

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.

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.
