12 oz. can from Publix. Pours a semi-clear gold color with a small white head and fair retention at best. A few spots of lacing. Strong fruit punch aroma. Fruit punch flavor too, but not as strong as the aroma, with a long finish. Not hoppy or bitter. More of an imperial fruit beer versus an imperial IPA. And the 9.5% ABV is very well hidden. Close to being alco-pop. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Lower than expected bitterness. Dangerously chuggable.

Banana and pineapple nose. Clear orange, thin head. Orange, banana, peach. Spicy clove phenols. Medium body, easy carbonation. Good flavors that don't work so well together, kind of a mess. It's trying to do too much, but I still like it bettter than an ordinary tripel.

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours clear copper with a large foamy beige head. Aroma is very ginger with some cinnamon. Arguably full bodied. Not dry. Not bitter. Just spicy. Nice thick caramel malt with lots of ginger and cinnamon. Nice!

Can to glass. Medium brown with a tan head.
Light toasty malts and a little caramel.
It does have a little pretzel essence to it. The bit of salt in the finish adds to it.
