7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Can (3/20/26) from Tewksbury. Opaque, dark yellow, tons of sparkle, large head with excellent retention and soapy lacing. Aroma is strong vanilla/marshmallow, lemon-lime over pineapple. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, finish as taste. I've said this about a lot of other beers before but this is so adjuncted as to be almost unrecognizable as a beer. An interesting, and enjoyable, alcoholic fruit smoothie with marshmallow that looks a bit like a hazy IPA. A bridge too far.

Watchstander Stout from Ghostfish Brewing Company

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7

Can (12/29/25) from Steve. Opaque dark brown, trace sparkle, thin head quickly fading to ring, no lacing. Aroma is strong earthy, roasted malt, hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is strong earthy, roasted malt, toasted marshmallow, hints of coffee, caramel, baker's chocolate. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, earthy, roasted, bitter finish. Not sure if this is the grain mix or what (have had gluten-filled beers that fall into this same trap), but don't love the earthiness. Everything else is pretty good but this just colors the whole thing.

Supersonic Bing Bong from Deep Fried Beers

7.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Can (3/16/26) from the brewery. Opaque, bright yellow, white floaties, light sparkle, decent head with good retention, nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong orchard fruit over grapefruit and citrus. Taste is strong orchard fruit, white grape, grapefruit, citrus, vaguest hint of herb and background malt. Smooth, creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation, dry, yeasty finish with mild lingering bitterness. 8 hops can sometimes be a train wreck when they cancel each other out and you get a bland nothingness. Thankfully, not the case here but do all those hops really change it for the better? If one or two were missing, would it really change it all that much? All that being said, a nice non-specific fruity beer that is hearty and satisfying.

7.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Can from the brewery. Opaque, bright yellow (pineapple juice), tons of sparkle, thin head with poor retention, trace lacing. Aroma is strong lemony citrus and grapefruit, light herb and pineapple. Taste mirror aroma. Smooth, silky, albeit thin, texture, soft carbonation and crisp, yeasty finish as taste. Drinks lighter than the ABV like a refreshing tropical drink. Very nice.
