Dull light brown. No head. This has an oxidized note, with a sort of alcoholic toffee thing...but not that good...like that but worse.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark red with a small beige head. Aroma is very cardboardy, with some caramel and bready malt. Flavour is very cardboardy, with toasted caramel, bready and ancient cardboard. Pretty nasty stuff.

Can - Seriously smells just like apple juice. Clear gold with no head. Light semi-sweet apple juice with a small bite. Lots of apple candy notes throughout, but not as sweet as it could be.

Poured from 355mL can. Clear medium brown with quickly dissipating light beige head. Grain malt with mild caramel notes. Flavour finishes quick and mild. Really not much else to say...
