12 oz. can. Thanks, Ian, I guess. Pours a clear, bronze color, with a fizzy, fleeting head. The aroma is lots of ginger, grapefruit, lime peel, and butterscotch. Sweet and fruity, with a bit of bitterness. Light body, with a thin, spritzy feel. This is an unfortunate beer. Weak body and watery flavor, with enough ginger bite and citrus to almost redeem it.

12 ounce can. Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head. A light fruity nose. Fresh grapefruit, some light sweet malts, light ginger ale. Highly carbonated. Not bad. I’d drink this on a hot day near the Rio Grande.

A little thin but clean and tasty.
