8.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Pint Can. Pours a clear yellow gold with a medium sized sudsy white head that has good retention. The aroma is somewhat mild with grapefruit and lemons. The taste, unlike the aroma, is big with pine grapefruit and lemons. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes long with lingering bitter pine. Overall: decent--reminds me of Green Flash's DIPAs.

6.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
12 oz can. Pours a clear gold color with a medium sized white head that slowly fades into a film. The aroma is medium in strength with pine and some pineapple. The taste is mostly light pine and some mixed citrus. Bitterness is very moderate for a west coast IPA. The palate was on the thin-medium side. Finished short with some lingering medium light pine. Overall: meh--might be a good beer for doing yardwork on a hot summer day, but who knows, I don't do that shit anymore. I suspect they made a west coast IPA that was designed medium/moderate so it didn't offend people with sensitive palates.

12 oz can. pours a hazy yellow color with a small diminishing white head. The aroma is rather faint and indistinct with a trace of sawdust and some corn. The taste is nothing to write home about--just some creamed corn, a bit of noble hops and some lemon pith. The palate is light, too light, almost watery. Finishes short with a bit of lingering herbal hops. Overall: meh

9.5/10 Appearance 9 Aroma 9 Flavor 10 Texture 10 Overall 9.5
187 ml bottle. Pours a dark purple color. The aroma is strong with dark cherries and blueberries. The taste is intense cherries in the forefront giving way to raspberries and blueberries. Some sweetness--but not cloying. The palate is full and coats the mouth well. Finishes long and dry with lingering berries and some tannins. Overall: Decent fer sure-would drink the every day if it was more readily available. Paired well with some Marieke gouda.

375 bottle. Pours a dark purple color. Aroma is strong with berries that I cant quite place. The taste matches the nose--vibrant mixed berries in the forefront with some tannin bitterness at the back end. The palate is full and sticky. Finishes long and glorious. Overall: Decent mead. Not my favorite from Schramm's, but still quite memorable.

7.8/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
375 ml bottle. Pours a murky orange/brown color. The aroma is quite strong with ginger and honey. The taste is ginger in the forefront with cranberry and honey following. The palate is full and sweet. Finishes long with lingering prickly ginger heat. Overall: Decent, but while I could ascertain that there was some fruit in this, I could not identify it as cranberry if not for the label.
