T: Bitter with citrus pith, tart citrus pulp and sharp woody notes. A hint of pine at the end.

2 month old can
A: Hideous dull pondwater brown with small head that fell to a thick ring.
S: Muted grapefruit and pineapple with a hint of toast.
T: Damn, it's actually good! Hops are generic citrus, stone fruits and light pine. Malts are woody with some caramel sweetness, providing nice balance.
M: Fine carbonation, light body and a lightly sweet sticky finish.
O: Finally a hazy that tastes like something other than pineapple and peach. Ugly as shit but quite tasty.

$2 can from total wine cary. Slightly hazy pour whose white head fades quickly. Nose clean fresh beery pilsner nose. First swig reveal medium sharp pilsner bite and its not over the top or in your face like many high impact domestic pilsners. Just s little more personality than the national bohemian american macro. In the middle its acceptable and easy to drink, yet it still lets you know its a pils quite like the old country. Decent level of co2 thru the session. over good finish in the end. Not bad, could possibly do another.

Draft: Poured a hazy with a white head. Aroma is hoppy, fruity, mango. Taste is fruity, with light hops, guava.
Heavy on the coconut. Light on the hops, but still delicious.
Almost like a cider and a pils crossed. Quite surprisingly good.

3 week old can A: Crystal clear deep yellow with highly active carbonation feeding a dense, thick white head that fell fairly quickly. S: Hay, grass and honeyed bread. T: Follows the nose with grass and hay but the bready notes are much sweeter than the nose suggests. M: Scrubbing carbonation, lightish body, ending clean but sweet. O: Clean refreshing flavor and texture but the malt sweetness is a bit overdone.

Finally a can of brew that actually exhibits at least some aspects of a 'red' beer to the eye; just a little mind you. Not sure about why the majority of the beers in this style are not actually 'red' hehehhh. Nose is decent malt. Taste is somewhat mildly uncalled-for bitter, but it does have many of the malty attributes of a decent red ale on the pallet. Goes down fairly easy, but just a shade of some undesired bitterness in the background riding on the malty notes. Yea, its difficult for the domestic brewers to get this old country style correct, in a civilized euro red beer attitude, but this is an above average effort. There, you have it.

3 week old can A: Poured hazy medium gold with a huge thick head that lasted well and left plentiful lacing. S: Light aroma of peach and pineapple with berry notes and sweet wafer cookies. T: Mild piney bitterness, tart citrus and maybe under-ripe berries. Floral notes then blend into a flat, wheaty finish. M: Light and lightly astringent. Soft carbonation gives a fluffy texture. O: Has potential but flavors don't quite gel. A big hole in the malt character.
