Made a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean, Ruby Sunset reminds us of beautiful crimson west coast sunsets, coloured with a juicy pomegranate-red glow.

Can: Poured a murky pale golden/reddish color ale with a medium foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of tart notes with light pomegranate notes also perceptible. Taste is also a mix of pomegranate notes with some light tart notes. Body is pretty full with good carbonation. Lacking complexity but still enjoyable and probably one of the best from this lackluster mix pack.

Part of Across the Nation Collaboration Out West 2018. Pours a slight hazy amber colour with golden hues. The head is a light beige, fizzing away slowly, but leaving just a tad collar. Mild sour nose with hints of fruitiness. The taste shows a little more the sourness with the actual fruit - pomegranate. Some honey and cereal notes. Nothing too bad, but lacking some finesse. Much better fruit sour ale out there.

Can from the LCBO. Pat of the Across the Nation collaboration pack (2018, West). Cloudy medium reddish orange under a tiny white head that is quickly gone. Nose is pomegranate, berries and grains with a hint of apple. Flavour is light+ sweet berry with a medium berry and pomegranate tartness. Mouth is medium and oily with soft carbonation. 7/2+/7/3/13

Good orange on this and a decent pillow of white foam. The aroma is very soft citrus, raspberry, pomegranate maybe but only because the can told me so. The flavour is definitely pomegranate infused though in an awkward way that also has some sour notes that aren't interacting totally well together. Silo'd flavours if you will. Medium finish. Yet still decent enough for a drink or two. This 12 can taster is quite fun from Central City though, definitely worth the time and effort to delve through all these unique offerings.

341mL can, pours a clear copper amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out tart red fruits, bready malt, and some red berries. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart red berries, plums, and light lacto. Fruity and pleasant. Nice stuff.
