Pretty crazy pink and light ruby coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall pinkish, off-white head that fades pretty quickly and has some large bubbles at the bottom, like a soda. Aroma of artificial watermelon, some slight yeast and wheat notes with a lot of caster sugar and fake sugar elements, but there is some cherry candy notes here as well, but the watermelon hits stronger in the nose [fake]. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong artificial candy sweetness and flavours here that shows a pretty good balance of watermelon and cherries, but the wheatie notes are a bit further behind with some tart elements at the end, but just about nothing else - this is very easy-drinking and simplistic. Aftertaste shows some more watermelon than cherry candy flavours, but a soft wheatie bite throughout gives this a bit of richness and depth, but it's a bit fake given that there are no other real flavours here, in an acceptable way. Overall, a beer [can] that of course looks great with it's retro Nerds candy [box] look, but the beer itself is quite simplistic and while tart, very easy-drinking and not too exciting. Nice enough to sample, but not worth trying to find, unless you are a huge Nerds fan from when you were a kid. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on 28-December-2022 for US$4,99 sampled at my hotel here in Orlando, Florida on 30-December-2022 with my wife and three kids.
