473mL can, pours a deep dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of funky notes, tart cherries, some cherry pie and light lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with lacto, barnyard funk, and tart cherries. Fairly yogurty, more so than the wild yeast funk. Not really lambic-like, but it's a pleasant wild cherry beer of some sort.

Re-rate: Poured from 750mL bottle. Clear brownish orange with small off white head. This bottle didn't gush. Some yogurt notes on top of my original tasting notes. Feb 12, 2022 (7/3/8/3/15=3.6): Poured from 750mL bottle. Super active, gushing out. Hazy orangey brown with off white head. Blackberry, mild acidity. Better than expected.

Nice murky caramel body and good foam. Good fresh grape aroma, slight malt, seems tasty. Taste is tart grape, slight malt, ending sweet and a bit dry. Kind of not bad, good meld betwixt sweet and sugary.

473 ml can. Pours a clear amber with moderate head. Aromas and flavours of fir and spruce - basically forest floor with a dose of industrial cleaner… A overload on the flavour. A bad novelty.

Murky brown body and very modest foam. Sweet eggnog and biscuit aroma, sugary, a bit of eggnog but nothing distinctive. Taste is a milky stout with soft cocoa notes, plenty of vanilla, eggnog maybe. Smooth and a nice milk stout but the flavours don't do the title justice.

Clearish deep copper body with an orange huge and okay foam. Kind of a musty root beer aroma, orange zest, clove barfing all over it. Taste is orangey clove that comes across like meaty leather. If this was a smoked beer it would be amazing, maybe they need to retool their marketing.

Can from Storm, labelled as Xmas tree pilsner, but who's counting. Clear gold body and some pretty good foam. Certainly that fir needle aroma on the nose, along with some citrusy pilsner hops and it comes across pretty well. Taste is heavy pine needle, soft pilsner malt, ending mostly dry. The fir needle isn't bad here but does overpower the pilsner - not bad but I wouldn't buy a second can.

Okay cloudy gold body and modest foam. Citrus and sage on the nose, maybe a bit of cinnamon. Taste is very big herbality, sage for sure and a bit maltiness and chewy hops to round it out. A bit powerful but the abv is well hidden. Might work better as an ingredient.

473 ml can. Pours brown with little head. Aromas of metallic orange and toasted malts. Muddy flavors of same with metallic notes being indescriptive spices.
