6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle from Trader Joe's Bedford. Pours a brilliantly clear deep golden color with a tightly bubble white head that dissipates quickly. Some skunk aroma when initially opened. Bready crackery maltiness slight bitter astringency, sulfur, and spice. Not bad but not Pilsner Urquell either.

Bottle from Trader Joe's Bedford Dark golden in color with a thin off white head that dissipates slowly. Rich bready crackery pilsner maltiness. Light earthy floral spicy hops to counter. Not too shabby and kinda shocked my expectations.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy, opaque dull orange with a medium white head. Aroma is loaded with ripe fruits, champagne yeast, and candied sugar. Flavour is along the same lines, with ripe fruits, pear, champagne yeast, and candied sugar. Fruity and estery, with a finish of champagne yeast and candied sugar. A little too estery but quite pleasant.

4.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
Bottle from Trader Joe's Bedford. Lightly hazy piss yellow in color with a bubbly white head that shows moderate retention. Green apple and skunk with hints of malt and hops. Brings me back to canoe trips on the Merrimack with Jason, just add lime.

750 c&c from TJ's in Davis, CA. Pours dark brown with a large, foamy beige/tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, Kandi, dark malt. Something sprightly and herbal. Med body or better. Flavor is aroma plus other things. There's something similar to mint. Sort of a wintergreen mixed with anise. Interesting and tasty. Unibroue is forever into new things!

Sour Cherry by Petrus from Trader Joe's

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 8
This has a nice red color and pink foam. Cherries are prominent in the aroma as well as the flavor. Some acid, quite soir and there is yeast in the aroma as well. Probably the best if the TJs Oeteua beers so far

67 cent can, TJ-CHO. Gold with an off-white head. Aroma is corn, grain, grasses. Flavor is grasses, corn, green leaf. It's fine... I wouldn't buy it again, but it's drinkable.
