Sampled from a bottle this beer poured a vibrant pink color with a trace off white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet sugar and artificial strawberry. The flavor was sweet sugar and artificial strawberry. Medium length finish. Medium body.

Pours a clear red color with absolutely no head or lacing. Pours like Kool-aid. Sweet, fruity Kool-aid aroma too. Surprise! It tastes like fruit punch Kool-aid. Same non-carbonated flat mouthfeel as fruit juice. How is this considered beer? Alco-pop. That said, it's very tasty and easily poundable. Great fruit punch; Lousy "beer."
Flavor is fine...but it’s not carbonated?

7/22/18. 12 ounce bottle. Hazy color that doesn't exist in nature. Kinda of like an almost translucent pale lime green. No head. Aroma of melted lime popsicles, a bit of orange. Taste is lime, orange, pale malt. Thin. About what I expected.

Why do I do these things to myself? 12 ounce bottle. Clear red. No head, and no carb escaped when I opened the bottle. Bad seal? Aroma of fruit punch. Taste is fruit punch, cherry forward. Thin, flat. It is what it is. At least it's a decent fruit punch.

Can split at Kennys CPH fart dungeon, thanks to Kenny, 10/05/18. Reddish brown with a decent beige cap. Nose is Raljex, bubblegum, sweet, Red Bull dung effect. Taste continues in a similar vein with a sweet malt base, caramel, Dentine choddy, light spice. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. I thought I was boosted until I saw my fellow raters scores on this Juan !!! Fun enough for a root beer though.

Hotel tasting. Imperial Hotel. Clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft malts, little vanilla. Nice sweetish licorice and aniseed, mild spice. Tangy fruits. More vanilla aniseed and licorice. Smooth and well joined up and very drinkable.

Bottle at home. This is awfully sweet and tastes like a Smirnoff Ice. Not nearly as good as an actual Dew. Lenin didn't like this either.
