Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with a quickly dissipating foamy to bubbly head and it didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet wheat, sour wheat, slight lemony-ish tones, slight salty tones and a pinch of grassiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sour to tart to sweet quality; finishes semi-dry with sour-ed wheaty tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a slight sour pucker - nothing overbearing
Overall: not bad but if they truly were going for a gose style, where was the coriander?

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow/orange semi-haziness with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated nicely but didn't leave much lace
Aroma: tart and sweet mango up front then some lemon sweet to tart whiffs coming in underneath
Flavor: light sweetness which ends up becoming more tart and sour as I sipped this more; finishes mango tart with a slight lemon tart to sour tone in there
Texture: light to medium bodied; leaning towards being a sipper; some smoothness but also a degree of pucker that seems mostly quaint
Overall: nice enough fruited tart/sour ale I might be able to come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a half a finger of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace to somewhat quick and left very little lace
Aroma: sweet wheat to wet grains up front with some floral to grassy tones, some sweet rye notes and light funk with some earthy tones
Flavor: funky to tart to slightly spicy to end up blending slightly sweet and adding in a little bit of breadiness; finishes semi-dry with some grassy to wheaty and grainy character
Texture: light to medium bodied; slightly sessionable; light smoothness, some prickly carb but doesn't seem too bothersome
Overall: an okay saison, maybe again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy yellow to orange semi-cloudy color with fast rising bubbles to feed a one finger white foamy head which dissipated at a good pace. No lace was left
Aroma: sweet to sour mixed citrusy tones with a lemon scent, some tart character
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sour to tart character while pushing the sweet character further to the back; finishes semi-sour through mixed citrusy tones
Texture: light to medium bodied; semi-sessionable; not that smooth as some puckering tones do pinch the tongue a bit
Overall: it's alright, maybe again.

355ml can. Clear gold, small white head, some retention. Aroma of pale malts, grain, a bit lager like. Taste is malts, sharp citrus elements with a light yeast and moderate bitter finish. Light bodied but not watery with a moderate carbonation. Its a bit one dimensional but has a refreshing quality.

Pours a hazy orange from a can. All in the four pack over carbonated, no amount of proper pouring will result in a glass with less than 75% head. Honey, flower, a little mango in nose and mouth, but thin and watery. As previous eater noted, despite being a rotating single hip series, the cam mentions three hops and does not specify which was used. Meh.
