Can. A- Hoppy, slightly sweet, mild berry. A- Copper color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Mild bitterness, bread dough, cherry, raspberry. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, astringent finish. O- Bad ipa, poor fruit beer, not really sure what this is. It had some potential I think but I'm probably wrong. Drinkable but not really enjoyable. Long time since I've had a He'Brew beer. Surprised it's still around.

Another can of pastry beer, I'm not into these things, they are just as bad as a ubiquitous poorly made IPA, in its own rude ass way. This beer is no exception; from the start it has this terrible pointed astringent bitterness that simply cannot be explained. Looks like any other clear pale beer. Barely any smell but what's there is faint volatile metallic fruit of some sort. If you think this is going to taste anything like a jelly donut, forget about it, it does not. I'm not sure who is in charge of beer names but this one is way off. Its one big annoying nasty ass brew. Difficult is a weak word for this, take difficult and raise it to a power of ten. Yes, that sharp uncivilized astringent bitterness is so much in yer face that I just can't get past it. Its in in yer face and then down the sides. Other than the possibility of catching an 8% buzz, I'd probably drain pour this masterpiece. Totally disjointedness disappointedness in this happy ass BS, no lie. JMHO. Go figger. I think somebody experimented with a big batch of something stupid and then gave it a stupid name when the brew didn't turn out to be what it should. Don't throw it away said the management, just give it a name and cool label then we'll pawn it off. Any similarity to a fruit beer or even octoberfest is not there.
