Can (6/21/24) from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. Hazy golden yellow with slight reddish hue, no sparkle, ring of head, trace lacing. Aroma is lightly tart fruit, strong strawberry. Taste is strong strawberry and tart fruit. Smooth texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Exactly as advertised. Not sour at all. Mostly strawberry. No fatal flaws but not particularly interesting. Appreciate the opportunity to tick the brewer.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you for the new brewery tick!! Aroma is sour strawberry and soft acid. The acid in the flavor is not overwhelming. Some tart and funky berry mixed with some sour notes. Not bad. Yet, not a ton going on here.

16oz can in a random bar, Oceanside on 24th March 2026. Bright light golden pour, clean and clear, white crown on top for a while. Dry and odourless, refreshing and thirst quenching, slightly more hops than malts.

Clear, vibrant, medium gold, everlasting lace in a goblet at sin nombre in Chula with my lovely wife.
Floral pine nose, dried pineapple with a bit of dank; inviting.
Nicely frothy, nutty, strong herbal in front, astringent white pith in the back. Lovely grapefruit hops. Incredibly dry.
Good++.

On my second flight at The Rocket In (the bar inside Whole Foods Market, Laguna Niguel) on 27th March 2025. All four beers looked the same, clear golden bodies with wispy white heads on each, luckily the beers were labelled and tasted different (just). Subtle white wine nose and undertone below the citrusy flavours that dominate the taste and aroma of this fruity brew.
