16 oz can traded by tfontana. Aroma of white grape, mango skins, soft herb. No surprises in the flavor. Exactly the way it smells. Very low herb like bitterness. White grape doesn’t shine real bright but there is a nice balance of hops.

16 ounce can in a trade with Clark, thank you. Aroma is big, bright, tangerine juice. Flavor has just as much tangerine with a very mild tart cranberry underneath. Along with very soft acid and sour wheat. Wonder balance. Gosh, how I missed this series! --- Beer aliased from original tick of Blender: Cran-Tan on 24 Sep 2018 at 12:19 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5. Original review text: 12 oz. draft at the brewery. Appearance is an intense Orange, yellow color that almost glows. Flavor has a mimosa character to it. Tangerines/ orange/ clementine. Or you could say HI- C juice box flavors. Very mild tartness underneath to balance the fruit. For me this is another Blender Home run. Extremely easy to drink and I wanted more when I was finished.

16 oz can. Aroma is pineapple juice, citrus and very light herbs. Flavors equal parts, orange, pineapple, juice, and a very mild, herbal undertone. Just enough bitterness to balance the fruit. Maybe a touch of floral notes as it warms. Good.

16 oz can. Aroma is blueberry, maple, cinnamon. The flavor upfront shows, banana, malt, vanilla. Then ends with maple and some tart blueberry. Thick and borderline chewy texture. The style always makes me torn how to review it. Simply because it tastes really good but on the other hand, it’s not really beer.

12 oz snifter. Aroma is citrus, milled grain, soft hop pellets. Flavor follows with some herbal like hops. Bitterness is steady and leans for old school. This is not the typical NEIPA/ Hazy. I hate how some brewers use “Hazy” as a style class.

12 oz can. Aroma is soft apricot, peach, mild malt. Another numbered hop variety finally gets a name. Flavor has a steady amount of stone fruit and soft malt backbone. Texture is pretty juicy. There is just enough bitterness in there to remind you that it’s not completely a juice bomb. Very well constructed.
