can - magicsloth and probably others described this pseudo-beer correctly in saying it’s like nat light mixed with red bull. The funny thing is nat light is so bad that this is an improvement. Though I wouldn’t call it beer. It’s very sweet and seems more like smirnoff ice and similar malt beverages. Don’t bother if you want a beer.

Can. Sweet berry aroma with hint of ginseng. Golden yellow with decent head that quickly dissapears. Sweet berry (guarana) flavor - thankfully short on ginseng flavor. In the same strain as the Euro Alco-pops and probably mainly a response to the popularity of Red Bull and Vodka - non-offensive - not all that different from a Radler. A gateway beer.

This is the drunks best friend a energy beer! It appears yellowish white with a white head. Very lambic in taste with ginseng aftertaste. I was suprised by it totally!

Well, I never could work up the desire to spend the money on a sixpack of this stuff, especially if I’d be stuck with 5 cans I didn’t want to drink. I was, however, surprised to find a gas station selling single cans of it for $1.50. Its really worth much less than that but I didn’t have any qualms over spending that much on a new experience, or experiment. Well: Experiment Failed. Typical straw color, fizzy head. Berryish aroma. Flavor weird, candyish with cheap beer undertones, unpleasant bitter herbal finish.

Can poured into my favorite tulip sampling glass. Light yellow with a small white head that quickly fades. The smell, to me, isn’t half bad. It smells nothing like beer, but instead fruity and candylike. Flavor is... hmmm. What is this flavor? Candied fruitiness. Some sort of berry- raspberry maybe? It’s not as bad as I thought it’d be, but it’s not something I’d sit back and enjoy. I suppose if I need a boost and I still wanna get drunk, I’d throw one of these back. But... probably not often.

Swill tasting with Muzzlehatch and Tiggmtl. Oh boy do I remember this one! I feel bad that I will have to concede a point in appearance because it did have a rosyish, light pink sort of color. Other than that, this may have just taken over my number one least favorite beer spot, knocking off my three way tie between Genny Cream, Natty Ice and Beast Ice. I thoroughly dislike making blanket statements, as if I know something better than others do, but I have to say, anyone who says this "isn’t that bad" is full of shit. This is fu**ing horrendous. If you can even get to the flavor through the intensely sharp and biting carbonation, you will find a disgusting mix of cheap, plasticy, artificial raspberry syrup, high fructose corn syrup and stale, offensive, sour evil things. Ahhhhh, just thinking about it makes me quiver. Giving it a one for flavor and palate does not even begin to do it justice.

Crystal clear light golden (piss) coloured beer with a super large frothy, large bubbled white head. Aroma of red bull, sugars, flintstone vitamins, grapes and taffy. Light-bodied; Super sweet tasting beer, similar to an orange soda or red bull, with no malt, hops, alcohol or any beer taste at all. Aftertaste shows more caster sugar sweetness, nothing roasted or flavourful, just pure sugars. Overall, a pretty bad drink...doesn’t taste ANYTHING like beer-more like a sweet drink with hardly any beer flavour at all. I sampled this 10 ounce can purchased by my brother-in-law at 7-Eleven somewhere here outside Washington, in Virginia on 17-January-2005. I am rating this beer not so low, because the scores I picked up from the beer weren’t all negative, just not what I would consider beer. Believe it or not, i’d rather have this one compared to many other beers, including A Le Coq Imperial Stout, Sam Adams Triple bock, Floris Chocolate, etc.

Pours is almost clear with a fizzy white head. Aroma is very sweet and berry like. The flavor is sweet tart with lots of fizz. No real beer qualities at all. Kinda like champagne with some fruit juice in it. This would go over better with the wine cooler crowd then with a beer drinker.

Can at the Syracuse Holiday Brewfest Dec.04 2004. Light anemic yellow. Smell of raspberry and cream soda. Very sweet mix of cream soda and lactic acid. No body malternative.
