16oz can from Tavour. Near black pour thick beige head slowly retreats. Nice dark roast aroma, burnt toast. Taste brings light accents of chocolate and cola, roasty, on the dry side.

Aromas are mainly raspberry with some blackberry, malt and vanilla. Flavors are similar to nose with some odd bitter that doesn't fit in. A little more tart than sweet. I don't find any sign of coconut. Full-bodied and good carbonation.

16 oz can. Aroma is catty, piney, overripe tropical fruit, bready, tangerine, sex. Pours murky orange-ish with a one+ finger off-white head with great retention. Taste has a light building to moderate pithy bitterness backed by plenty of malt sweetness. Good, but would be better if the sweetness was dialed back.

Lots going on with the aromas - melons, stone fruit, tropical fruit, malt and a bit of citrus. Flavors are similar to nose. Great balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Party is a little thin. Add in a touch of floral. Everything fades in the finish. Pretty good for a lightweight IPA.

While pouring out of the can the liquid is lavender but in the glass it's a purplish tinged amber. Interesting aromas of malt, tree bark and some other odd thing that I can't identify but must be the purple rice. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose but losing the tree bark. More sweet than bitter with okay carbonation. More body than other rice lagers. Fun novelty thing to try once but I wouldn't be looking for another.

16 oz can. Aroma starts out dank and oniony before disappearing and being replaced by notes of sweet bready malt, cantaloupe, kiwi, and chayote. Pours hazy dark yellow-orange with a one finger cream-white head with good retention. Taste is lightly bitter backed by significant candy malt sweetness.

16 oz can. Aroma is berries, cinnamon, graham crackers, vanilla. Pours opaque purple with a one finger pinkish-purple head that settles into a ring after a minute. Taste is highly sour (9/10) and fairly sweet with flavors of the adjuncts and a light sense of leafy hop flavor, but no real bitterness. If this started out as an IPA, it’s completely buried underneath the sourness and adjuncts. Tastes good as a smoothie sour, though.
