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.

16 oz can from Carton delivery, 7/14/22. Canned 7/1/22. Pours a fully hazed brighter golden-orange color with a nice white head. Juicy aroma with peach, mango, pineapple, and melon. Some herbal and peppery notes come through on the close. Slightly mineral. Sweet up-front, but finishes less sweet (not balanced, but balanced for a NEIIPA).

16 oz can from Carton delivery, 7/14/22. Journey began 6/29/22. Mostly clear golden color with a white head and some lighter, drippy lacework. Interesting mix here, some citrus, some smoke, light mix of fresh tropical hop goodness with wood and the smoky notes. Grainy on the finish. Lightly sweet, a little smoky, and a little dry on the close. ABV is pretty hidden here, drinks more in the 6% range than 8.4%. There's a lot going on here, but nothing is really overpowering, so what you are left with is a nice melding of a bunch of somewhat subtle flavors. Makes sense as a summer grilling beer, I can see that. I like it.

16 oz can from Carton, via delivery, 7/14/22. Canned 7/6/22. My 100th Carton tick, brewery #6 in my personal 100 club! Murky yellowish-orange color, off-white head, fairly strong lacework. Damn if it doesn't smell like cherry nibs. I thought we'd just get some sugary notes on the IPA hops, but to my surprise, the cherry nib aroma is dominant. I do get some tropical hop notes underneath the candied cherry, but it's subtle. Sweet, but not too sweet. Couldn't resist this gimmick, but at the same time, I didn't have high expectations. It's actually pretty tasty. Not sure I'd want a case of it (especially at this price point), but for a couple of cans, yeah, sign me up.

16 ounce can. Pale gold pour. Rocky white head. Spotty lacing. Aroma hints at woody, herbal and light grain. Soft, spicy hop flavor hints at clover and wood. Dryish notes throughout. Easy drinking and perfect for the summer shower.

16 oz can from Carton delivery, 6/27/22. Clear golden, thin white head. Strong lemongrass and coriander. Herbal, grainy, spice. Super bright. Rather dry. A good mix, but not quite hitting for me the way I would have expected. Still, it's solid.

16 oz can from Carton delivery, 6/27/22. Canned 6/15/22. Mangonion, apricot, a little bit of melon. Touch of cheese. Green pepper. Some dank weed notes too. Good stuff going on here. Drinks clean. Not super bitter. Well hidden ABV. Finished the can and I'm still not sure what I think of it, but it settled here. Might update with another can if I remember.
