Can from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Cloudy, dark orange-red with trace sparkle, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong cranberry and tangerine with tart fruit. Taste follows aroma though flavors are less distinct. Fairly thick texture, medium bodied, average carbonation, finish as taste. Fruit is well balanced and still allows for base tartness. Well made.

Can from trade with Chalumeaux—thanks, TJ! Deeply hazy bright yellow with ring of head and trace lacing. Aroma is sweet/tart blueberry and wheat. Taste is mostly wheat and blueberry is more of an accent. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and dry finish as taste with light tart fruit. I’d think I’d be disappointed with subtle blueberry but I appreciate its restraint. Decent wheat.

Can (5/14/25) from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Cloudy orangey-yellow with light sparkle, decent head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong lemon, mild herb and baguette crust. Taste is super strong lemon with herb and background bread crust. Frothy, fairly thick texture, lively carbonation, finish as taste that then produces surprising dry, moderate bitterness. Excellent strength for 4.7%. Kind of a strange mix of lemon and herb. Then ends on odd bitter turn. Liked it but didn't love it.

Can (5/7/25) from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque, milky yellow (grapefruit juice), light sparkle, good-sized head with decent retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is strong orange, astringent lemon-citrus, tropical fruit, white grape. Taste is strong orange, astringent citrus, over white grape, dank, very late caramelized toast. Smooth, silky, frothy texture, soft carbonation and citrusy, grape-y, dank finish with light bread. A bit of citrus astringency to both aroma and taste but wonderful mouthfeel.
