Pours hazy a bit murky orangey, nice full foaming head. Hop nose is a bit dank but mostly pine and tropical fruits. Flavor more mine, a little less tropical, and not dank. Hop oils feel zingy on the palate leading to a mild bitter finish. Light to medium bodied, balanced to semi-dry. Cans from UCF Publix

This is a bit of a let down, not that its bad, but after having the Barrique Vitis Concord twice last year, I was hoping for something like that. First, this is barely sour. Like only a hint of tart. Nose is dough, light grape juice, light grain. Looks nice with a deep purple color and faint pink-purple head that fades quickly. Lightly tart, semi-dry, and a surprising hop bitterness at finish that really doesn't mesh well with the rest of the beer. This tastes a lot like a simple american wheat with grape juice added, and the tartness comes from the grape juice rather than any fermentation characteristic. This is an overly critical review for a beer that is decent. The grape element is nice, the base beer is alright. But really, that's it, it is just the sum of its parts. Cans from Publix Oviedo FL

Pours looking like an amber lager! Big foaming creamy head over dark amber beer. A little mild grassy or noble hop on the nose, maybe a little dark bread. Clean profile, bready, mildly sweet with a light caramel note. Biscuity. Semi-dry, with a light hop bitter finish. Drinks super easy, just magically disappeared from the glass! Overall mild, restrained but well constructed, if maybe slightly less interesting than the best amber lagers (or dunkels or viennas or whatnot) out there. Cans from Publix Oviedo FL

This is both decent but also highlights the serious downside to the hazy style. This has surprisingly restrained hop nose, it hints at citrus mainly and a small floral element. The hop flavors are restrained too, no specific note comes forward, just a melange of citrusy floral elements, leading to a lightly bitter and bready finish that leaves you wanting something with more punch to it. Date on bottom is 12/16/25 so if that's the canning date its superfresh. Def a hazy yellow with a rocky meringue of a head that holds on til the end. Can from Upsala market, Sanford FL

hmm, a rare swing and miss from Sierra Nevada. Seemed OK at first, a very pale yellowish color, bright hop nose, plenty of citrus and lightly floral. Very dry and attenuated here, malts are almost not there at all, just a light breadiness, dry finish. What doesn't work then is the strong bittering hop presence, which is at the levels you might want for a less attenuated standard IPA. The bitterness overwhelms, and its citrus and floral elements shift to a soapiness that really isn't working at all. It feels ultimately like a flawed recipe.

This is from 2016 correct? Sample NYE 2025 (that is, 12/31/25, heading into 2026). Poured a brown cloudy murky color but managed a small short lived head. The crown popped revealing there was still some pressure in the bottle. However, the carbonation was quite soft and minimal in drinking so I think it had lost something there. Had it held up otherwise? Not quite. Definitely some sherry and cardboard notes in here, mixed with a a general malt forward beer, some fruitiness, leaning toward bruised apples, figs. Not sour or funky at all. Strength was apparent, there was a light booziness at the finish and trying to drink all of the 750 was not gonna happen! I think there was something good in here, but perhaps it was never great?
