Super clear nd thin pink coloured body that is very light and far removed from Red, along with the head, that is nice at four to five centimetres tall, but violet and purple coloured or perhaps dark pink, but nowhere close to red. Aroma of strawberries, tons of hibiscus, some very perfumey notes of jasmine and showing a light malt and hop scent, but this seems all about the fruit and tartness. Light to Medium-bodied; Odd biscuity, slightly grainy and herbal flavours show at first with a deep yeastie and breadie flavour right behind that leaves a bitterness and funky finish with no hops or tartness at all. Aftertaste is funky also with a slight dry characteristic and some honey-like notes, but there is still no hops nor alpha acids here to draw on, and only a bit of the malty component that shows past the funky grainy yeastie and bitterness. Overall, very disappointing throughout - from the lack of hops to no real malt presence and the tartness/fruits/herbs in the nose and nothing in the flavour and the biggest let-down is the color! Definitely worth passing up entirely and forgetting you even saw this one! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Sperryville Corner Store in Sperryville, Virginia on 18-June-2022 for US$3,77, with a 'Best By' date of 15-September-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-June-2022.

I was really hoping that this would be super red in color, but that's fine... super blood red would be best. Can. Poured a more ruby red peach color with a small pink head. Aroma was grainy cereal sweetness. Light floral notes. Flavor was light fruity, floral hops with light blood orange.
