16oz can, canned on 24th May 2023 and drank at my daughters in Laguna Hills on 25th July 2023, so only two months old. Clean and clear golden body, short lived white head. Refreshing and thirst quenching, rice, corn and even barley might have been used, not many hops thrown in though. Typical Mexican style Lager, so I am being unkind maybe, scored objectively.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours translucent gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is earthy/bretty and deep inhale provides a sourish note. Med body. Flavor is bretty/earthy, but there's a dry fruity sour aspect in the finish. Good flavor.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours moderately hazy gold with a decent white head. Aroma of white grapes, citrus and earth. Pale malt support. Med body. Dry but somewhat juicy. Flavor is the aroma with some melon and passionfruit. Moderately bitter. Very nice flavor.

Was there some sort of Bollywood/ Border-Gavaskar Trophy tie in here? Can. Nearly clear amber with a 1/2cm white head. Aroma of autumnal fruit, boot polish, twigs, old lemons, boiled oranges. Not all that funky. Light bodied. Lightly acidic, some crackers, more prominent citrus than suggested by the aroma. Modest bitter finish is snappy enough. Deeply refreshing. Good.
Bottled 9/4/2015.

Tip Tap draught, 5/21/23. Plummy-violet. Small, off-white head. Good clarity. Nose is playful, fruity plums with brett and light lactic acidity. Crackery malts, light mineral and more funk on the finish. Soft, tart, big brett and plum acidity, but well-aged and easygoing with sot, well-attenuated malts. Low oak, low acidity. Great plum expression. This is much more interesting and fruit-forward than the tropical punch version.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours translucent gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma of apricot, mango and pale melon. Med body. Flavor is fruity, but towards dry. Moderately bitter. Some light toffee support. Flavor is melon, lychee, apricot, mango. A little sweetness pops up with time. Nice.

Solid Kölsch, offering up bright and crisp grainy notes laced with toasted bread, followed by undertones of apple and lemon, leading to a mild floral bitterness on the back end with a hint of salinity. Very easy to make a can disappear. Nice.
