3$ can from total wine. Last beer of the late seminole 4/2026 tasting week, thank you aunt joan. Pour is almost clear light pale with a head the fades rapidly. Nose is uniquely sweet. Taste is initially bitter like mild grapefruit juice. Yes some wheat ale bitterness as well. Not sure if this is a straight up blonde, edges a bit into the flavored or fruit beer style. Now in the middle, that unsweetened grapefruit thing becomes more apparent. Decent carbonation level keeps it interesting. Before I know it, I'm to the bottom of the can. Can't be too bad. Now let's trek back to bah bah beaver county.

Draft pour at Dada. Poured a hazy yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was sweet malt, big tropical fruit, floral notes. Light tangerine, kiwi, some light lemon. Drank this right after trying to see the Artemis II.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt golden amber color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some citrusy, floral and piney hoppiness up front with a light malty tone underneath
Flavor: bittersweet qualities running through the prior noted aromas; mild piney to floral aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability about it. Semi-smooth along the tongue; finishes crisp and floral and light dryness
Overall: nice enough IPA I believe I could come back to.

Aroma: tropical fruity hops over top of a light caramel/toffee malt

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: muddy orange color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated quietly to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet wheat, Belgian yeasty spice; soft floral hops, light lemon, some orange peel and light Belgian candy
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas fairly sweet with a brisk spicy vibe trying to balance in; light aftertaste of Belgian yeast and orange peel
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; mild Belgian spice grip on the tongue; finishes with the Belgian spice and orange peel
Overall: I dig this Belgian witbier, it's worthy of coming back to in warmer weather.

Can to Belgian chalice.
Appearance: nice dark brown/maroon looking color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and leave some light lace.
Aroma: chocolate covered dark fruits meshing with some light Belgian spices, some sweet earthy tones, subtle honey, sweet coffee
Flavor: combines all the prior mentioned aromas sweetly with a light underscore of roastiness; mild aftertaste of dark fruits and chocolate
Texture: medium bodied; leaning towards being a sipper; semi-smooth along my tongue; finishes with the dark fruits and chocolate
Overall: somewhat weird for the style, does it work? I guess it does and I think I could come back to.

Bottle to Belgian chalice.
Appearance: semi-muddy burnt copper color with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: some sweet earthy spices; Belgian-esque candy; light peaches, some bananas and caramel malt tones
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together fairly nice to lead into a sly aftertaste of caramel, earthy spices and sugary character
Texture: medium bodied with a sort of in between dilemma of deciding if this is sessionable or a sipper (I can't really tell); some zing on my tongue from some of the earthy spices; finishes somewhat Belgian-like but also odd with the strong notes of caramel and peaches
Overall: one of the oddest Belgian Tripels I've ever had. Somehow, it seems like it does somewhat work but also leaves me scratching my beard a bit too - it's not exactly to style, I must say that.

Bottle to Belgian tulip.
Appearance: semi-glossy cardboard yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated to leave some mild lace
Aroma: sweet hay, lemon, coriander, subtle banana, Belgian candy
Flavor: blends all the prior mentioned aromas semi-sweetly with a stiff malty Belgian quality, mild Belgian candy to lemon aftertaste

Overall: not bad as a patersbier, I believe I could have again.
