Shiggy share!

Baby tulip at home while on Friday night beer chatz.
Amber hibiscus tea.
Raspberry & rounded sweet apple nose, slight caramel, sharp.
Taste is gentle raspberry, darker berry skin, dark cherry, macerated old apples. This is mostly rich berry juices with a little apple juice box.
Low carb, some body/pectin, low acid, hint of tartness.

Okay beverage, juice box.

West Virginia tick, yes! Caramel apple, no!
Thanks Shig!

New Belgium goblet at home, in my office, watching a documentary about sea turtles.
Pale gold, warm hue. Big splash, quick fizz but mostly dead Jim.
Toffee nose, false oak, macerated apple nose. Floral candy. Not caramel quite yet.
Sharp, tart & sweet with an oily film that is faintly caramel, boozy flavor.
Think. Found some prickly carb, a touch hot & industrial.

Tolerable if you slosh it down quickly with something better lined up.

12 ounce can thanks to hershiser2! Son of my favorite Dodger (cause the rest of them suck). Clear red, thin tan head, poor retention. Aroma of apple, grape, cherry. Taste is sweet apple, cherry, grape. Slick, almost chewy. Weird. Overall though it's decent. .

$1.84 can from TJsCHO. Cold, light haze, tiny white head. Ginger, apple nose; no mango detected. The mango is in the flavor, for sure. Along with ginger and apple. Dry, and tastes natural.
