Darker amber, not much head, tart, and kind of wonky smelling but a light plum note, too. Fruity, yes it’s still a bit wonky, and fairly malty.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours dark copper with a beige head. Aroma is sour with red berry. Near med body. Flavor is sour, has some red berry. Dryish. Lightly bitter. Not bad, but not really up to the typical Begian version. Nice drink - could be pool beer. The sour is easy to tolerate.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours coppery gold with a slight white head. Aroma is mildly sour, but otherwise suggests a citrus based soda. Med body. Flavor is mildly sour. Citrus flavors. Not wholly dry. Mildly bitter. However the combo is really tasty and refreshing.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear, light, bright gold with a smallishly foamy white head. Slightly sour guava aroma. Near med body. Flavor is guava with a little passion fruit. Mildly sour, but the fruit makes it seem prickly. Pretty dry. Bitter isn't in it. Refreshing departure.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear, bright god with a foamy white head. Aroma is floral and tropical - but I got a garlic note. Med body. Flavor is very, very, very lightly sour. There's a low key garlic note, but mostly it's mixed citrus with a touch of pineapple. Not strong in flavor, but not weak either. It's definitely enjoyable.

12oz can pours a clear gold with a ring of white head. Nose is sweaty, lemon. Flavor has lemonade mix, sweat. Tart finish. Odd.

12oz can at the DC Spring RB Tasting. Poured a medium orange color, clear, with a small white head. Aroma was light floral, slight salty, tartness. Some mild coriander. Tart more than sour.

From a 12 oz can at the 2019 RB DC gathering. Pours a clear pale gold with a white head. Aromas of vinyl. Flavors are tart and funky with some sweet caramel.

Not a great balance. Too much citrus and not much other flavour. Pours golden with ok head. Can thanks to my wife.
