Can. Well my sitezer friend says this tastes too much like beer. Light gold in color with a skim of a head. Aroma is lemon. The taste is lemon.

Cheap pounder can from chalet premier, nice place. Pour is clear very light pale at first but near the bottom of the can its a little more haze. Smell is light and fresh, just a tad of citrus olfactory. First taste and palate is that of a fizzy light affable lemon lime drink. Almost soda in its effects but certainly there is a little beer in there. Refreshing fer-sher and I'm liking this stuff. Its more like a shandy than a fruit beer. I'm surprised the alky content is 4.5%, you can barely feel it. Before I looked at the ABV rating I was thinking more like 3%. Not bad, a pleasant overall beer drinking experience.

Very clear and crisp golden coloured body with an odd hazy straw coloured tint and no head at all - very crazy looking and pretty not-beer-like - at least in the look. Aroma of fresh citrus fruits, lemons, light sugars from caster sugar and honey and a tiny dose of biscuity and herbal malts here. Light-bodied; Very crisp and super easy-drinking fruity and especially citrusey, lemony flavours dominate here with an easy and clean drinking malt profile that shows some smooth flavours, especially the sweetness and a good fresh lemony flavour without much else - no bitterness, no real body and definitely no hops here - this is smooth, simple and easy-drinking. Aftertaste is very simplistic and with nothing here but some very light sugars, a tiny dose of malts and body and most of this coming from the lemony flavours that are okay, but not too exciting. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Tyson's Corner (Vienna), Virginia on 23-December-2022 for US$2,33 ($13,99 for a mixed six pack) sampled at my hotel here in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on 01-February-2023.

Pint can from Wegman's Gainesville, Va, 6/7/22. Clear very pale gold thin fizzy head, poor retention. Aroma of lemon, lime, a bit of aspartame. Taste is mango, lime. Thin. Meh.
