Not sure on canning date, can't be too old, thanks to Drew.

Pours a pinkish fizzy smaller head that fades fairly quickly, super murky mauve purplish color.

Nose some raspberry and creamy wheat/oat mash, perhaps lactose, smells like black raspberry ice cream, some citrus notes, floral as well, and a touch of pineapple

Taste starts with big berry mash, blackberry jam with seeds mixed in, a little tartness and maybe boisenberry like or mulberries, more creamy base wheat/oat bringing a bit more black raspberry ice cream, jammy and juicy with pineapple juice and a little citrus, some tannic seed stem bitterness and a bit of floral citrus spicy hop notes, with a weird not so pleasant bitterness on the back end, like mixing orange juice and mint toothpaste or something similar to that effect

Mouth is med bod, a bit creamy juicy fluffy, with decent carb

Overall eh, it has some interesting components but the finish really doesn't go well, otherwise decent fruit component.

Looks and tastes kinda like Ruby grapefruit juice in a good way

 

This one pours a fairly opaque dark-ish pink, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells mostly like raspberry, with a bit of grassy hops, some orange, and a hint of passionfruit.

The raspberry dominates amongst the trifecta of fruit additions. There's a little bit of funky passionfruit, but I don't get any apricot. The hopping adds a welcoming grassy bitterness and a hint of orange- this keeps it from being the sweet disaster it definitely had the potential of being.

This is light bodied and crisp, with a slightly muddled finish, and a good level of carbonation.

This is definitely out of their wheelhouse, and it's mostly a success.
