1 pint 0.9 Oz bottle from Carton, via delivery, 10/15/22. Murky yellowish color, white head. Tart strawberry, grass, red grape, yeasty funk, and wood. The strawberry is a little muted from the aging process, but it's still present. Balanced, flavorful, a little bright. A fun one, and tons of flavor at 5.1%.

16 oz can from Carton delivery, 10/13/22. Hazy yellowish color with a white head that leaves lots of lace on the glass. Sweeter aroma of orange juice, grapefruit, and mangonion, with a little melon, some pine, herbal notes, and a touch of grass. Nicely balanced, a little sweet, a little bitter, a hint tart. Flavorful and quite tasty.

On tap at Central Jersey Beer Festival at Mercer County Park. Number one with a bullet. Opaque black, brown color. Foamy tan head. Sweet roasted malt nose hints at semi-sweet chocolate, vanilla and just a wisp of peanut butter. Rich and full bodied. Boozy notes. Sticky, sweet finish.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Hazy, straw gold color. Large foamy white head. Sulphury , biscuity malt aroma. Clean, crisp biscuit malt flavor. Notes of lemon and lime, as advertised. Slightly tart and light bodied. I can vouch that this beer tastes even better when being sipped in a pool.

2022 Bottle from Carton delivery, 7/18/22. Pours an unclear orange with a bit of a purplish-pink hue to it. Fizzy head that dissipates quickly. No lace. Lemon and green apple. Blueberry comes through as a fairly subtle flavor. Sour, funky and fruity. Bright and refreshing. Somewhat puckering. Tasty overall.

16 oz can from Carton, 7/17/22. Journey began 7/8/22. Murky yellowish color, white head. Nice cranberry and peach flavor over a light, clean grain, doughy body. Kinda reminds me of the Boat base without the strong hop presence. Pretty good chugger for the pool. Clean, easy, refreshing. I dig it. If you want to make a fruit forward summer crusher I'd take this over another overly sweet kettle sour or a seltzer for sure.
