473 ml can. Pours a hazy straw color with light head. Aromas of salty citrus and wheat. Flavors of follow same with tonic water and an odd lime influence more like the stale concentrated lime stuff one buys for cooking. Easy to drink

Can from Legacy LRS, vancouver
Hazy red colour. Fruity aroma, with a touch of vinegar. Dry mouthfeel, well carbonated, moderately sour, berry and grape wine flavour.
Quite pleasant.

Can. Very pale, with just a slight haze. Not much head. On the nose, lots of lime, and it smells like it's going to have a fair bit of lime tartness, too. This also has a fairly fresh taste, the lime juice coming across fresh and balancing quite well with the salt.

Can. Dull tan colour with no head. The aroma is sort of a doughy malt, and not really a heck of a lot else. On the palate, it's worty, not too surprising for 3%. I'm not sold on Mandarina going solo to begin with, but I don't really get all that much of it in here anyway. The beer isn't bad or anything, but it's a yeasty pilsner with clumsy malts, a bit of bitterness and no hop brightness, like a practice beer or something.

Deep pink with a small white head. Light soured berry notes. Light soured red berry and a decent finish. Not bad.

473mL bottle, pours a dark red with a small pink head. Aroma brings out red grape skins, some earthy notes, bit of vinous character. Flavour is quite tart, with lots of tannic red grapes, a little wood, dry vinous notes, and sharp acidity. Tannic, acidic, and vinous. Not exactly cohesive, but it's a pleasant attempt.

16oz from Everything Wine @ home. Appearance: hazy dark cherries like Kriek with a rose head. Aroma: sweet cherries and some funk. Taste: strange woody notes, some yogurty notes and maybe a bit of acetone? Overall: no complexity, a bit harsh, no balance. Meh.

Pours with nice foam on a cloudy yellow body, smells of deep fresh lime, some basil it seems. Flavour is vague notes of lime and other spice, really simple. Mouthfeel is full but nothing lingers or makes it exciting. It's kind of a letdown, needs more excitement to make it interesting.

Pours with a good deep clear copper body and nice foam, the aroma is nice fresh raspberry with tannin hints. Flavour is semi smooth raspberry with a bit of cloying sugar on the back end. Mouthfeel isn't great, flavour is however, which makes this thing kind of nice but also a bit of a wash.

473 ml can. Pours black with a short dark tan head. Aromas of syrupy roasted malts, sweet licorice, warm oaky bourbon, and soy. Flavors of chocolate, kahlua, vanilla, light but alcoholic bourbon, and oily roasted malts. Hot finish. Quite nice.
