16 oz can. Do the ingredients sound strange? Yes. Is it a bad idea to put cheesecake in a beer? Yes. Yet somehow it works and is pretty balanced. The berries are tart enough to counter act the marshmallow and chocolate.
Another good thing here is this isn’t as thick, and chunky as others in the series. Tastes good.

16 oz can. Aroma is bursting with tropical fruits and cantaloupe. In the flavor, the cantaloupe is low, but as bold, mango, papaya, and perhaps a hint of pineapple. Extremely juicy character just a touch of herbal bitterness for balance. Pretty nicely constructed.

12 oz. can in a trade with Clark, thank you. Aroma is mild grapefruit pith, mango skin, and candied orange. In the flavor of the malt backbone, thankfully isn’t too old school, but does show a little bit of caramel. Perhaps honey. Same fruit that you find in the aroma. Alcohol is hidden and it does drink pretty easily. This pretty much stands the test of time.

16 oz can. Aroma of pink grapefruit, Orange, marmalade and soft herbs. Flavors exactly the same with a soft cooking herb bitterness. Alcohol is pretty hidden for the 8.5%. Not overly juicy and shows a nice balance. Good drink!

16 oz can traded by tfontana. Aroma of guava, orange, pear. Flavor has a lot of fruit. Juicy in character with a medium plus body. Shows a mild grass or herb like bitterness for balance. This drinks really well for me. Almost makes me wanna take a trip to Western MA to check this place out.

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.
