Bottle. Looks more like soda than beer. Aroma is lemon, lime not much vanilla. Taste is mostly lemon and lime.

I was wondering when it would be appropriate to start drinking during a cat 2 hurricane. The universe’s answer: WHEN THERES A DAMN ALLIGATOR

12 ounce bottle into perfect pint glass, best before 10/2017. Pours slightly hazy white color with a 1 finger foamy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lightly tart lemon, key limes, citrus zest, vanilla, cream, and white sugar. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of citrus fruit, vanilla, and sugary sweetness; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart lemon, key limes, citrus zest, vanilla, cream, and white sugar. Very mild citrus tartness and zesty bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lightly tart lemon, key limes, citrus zest, vanilla, cream, and white sugar on the finish for a while. Nice robustness and balance of citrus fruit, vanilla, and sugary sweetness; with a solid malt/tart/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from bitter/tartness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy, and slightly slick/syrupy mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.4%. Overall this is a nice fruit beer. All around good robustness and balance of citrus fruit, vanilla, and sugary sweetness; very smooth and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful, but not overly sweet/syrupy. Tastes like a cross between cream soda and 7-up. A nicely enjoyable offering.

16 oz can from the grocery store. So this is beer, huh? Pours exactly like a Sprite (or a Zima!), with a slightly hazy white hue with a crackly collapsing white head. Gnarly. Smells sugary sweet with strong notes of vanilla. Tastes sweet with flavors of vanilla, very light citrusy Sprite-like flavors. This is some real gourmet shit compared to the Redd’s Wicked Blood Orange I drank before this. In the hard soda/beer category anyway. I really doubt there’s much anything to do with beer in this, but the can does say "Ale with natural flavors." This is actually really tasty. It’s just that it’s connection to beer is tenuous at best.
