Can thanks to Drake! Gold, hint of haze, white head. Honey, grasses, floral notes en la nostrilz. Flavor is grasses, green leaf, light honey, hint of flower petals. Light, a bit bitter. Drinks better than 95 calories, but it's still thin.

Can thanks to Drake! Gold, tiny bit of haze, white head. Nose is citrus peel, light pine, light floral, vinegar. Flavor is citrus peel, apple cider vinegar , pine. Thin. Ugh. I don't think the apple cider vinegar adds here... it's not overwhelming by any means, but I don't have the greatest associations of doing shots of the shit when trying to ward off an illness (and it's been many years).

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thick, relatively soapy and fast-dying light brown head. Aroma of deep roasted malt, coconut, and toffee, caramelised sugars, molasses and some pitted fruits, all with a good deal of both vanilla and lactose showing towards the end as well. Light-bodied; Strong very enjoyable vanilla flavour with a good kick of cream and lactose notes that give some complexity and depth while being fairly easy-drinking with a dry and oaty that almost gives this a 'mild' like flavour (the style, not a minimal taste). Aftertaste shows more of the roast and caramelised sugars with a good deal of both vanilla and cream that does a pretty good job of bridging the stye of a sweet stout into something as light as this one is, especially in terms of how flavourful this one is, but how easy it goes down. Overall ,a nice and enjoyable beer that is very mild and light, but still showing a lot of flavours and depth/complexity throughout. I  sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 02-September-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 11-September-2020, Patriot Day, here especially a few feet from the Pentagon.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a super tall, very soapy, off white and even tan head, about 8 centimetres tall. Aroma of pure skunk when the can is cracked that permeates, but then a few seconds later, the smell is almost all grain with some malted barley, a dash of water, some light lemons and a touch of hay with grasses, nothing too pleasant throughout. Ultra Light-bodied; Very watery and grainy flavours show at first with a light citrus and funky cereal, malt and light perfume finish with nothing too pleasant and nothing strong at all - there are all very weak notes. Aftertaste is dry, citrusey, watery and devoid of character in a bad way, of course. Overall,  a very poor beer throughout, sort of as expected,  but I was hoping for perhaps more flavour or at least character, and this purely didn't deliver. Not worth trying at all, even if it's in front of your face for $0,50...if you have an option, take the OTHER. I  sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Columbia Pike), Virginia on 17-August-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington  on 27-August-2020.

FKT seems fitting. Can thanks to Drake. What a shitshow. Strawberry colored, hint of haze, pinkish head. Lovely smell, berry, not tart, vanilla, caramel, citrus. Oooh, smooth berry, again not tart, toasted malt, light citrus. This fucking works.

Can thanks to Drake! Dark brown with a small beige head. Roasted malt, coffee bean, light coconut nose. Coffee beans, subtle coconut flavor, cocoa powder. It's not bad, but it feels cheap... almost a coco powder residue/grit in my mouth,.

Blue and white can for a buck at JRs in rochy. . Orange with a slight brown tint. Big foamy white head. Taste is mild ale with some fruit flavoring. Some odd ale flavor mixed with perhaps currant, can't tell. Could use a little curreant tartness to liven it up a bit. Its just some common fruit berry flavor, so common in fruit beers. Nothing special, just another of a million fruit beers. So, FKT stands for fastest known time, eh? It took me FKT to figure out its just another common off the shelf fruit beer. Go figger.

Can as pictured for a dollar at JR's. Unexpectedly nice darkish stout/porter look with a decent tan rocky head. Smells fairly fresh & stouty and all. Even has some olfactory of impy coffee stout in there. Taste is mellow coffee and deeper chocolate on a malty background. In the middle the coffee, though not strong, starts to come forward in a little annoying way, maybe its adding shades of no-heat pepper flavor in there. How about how everybody and their mother has now jumped on the craft beer wagon wave? Pretty sad, considering how many bullshit beers there are out there.

Green can for a $1 at JR's. Smells rather ubiquitous with a slight hint of brittleness. A little astringent for the alky content. White head goes rocky. Taste is OK but its got a little more kick in it than a good old civilized old country kolsch. Initially, I think I feel a little tartness in there but I think it was just a fading whim. Just a tad medicinal in the middle. Not sure if the slight astringent flavor is from the bee pollen or not. However, in the end, it is somewhat on the refreshing side but its nothing special and I'm surprised SN is getting on this band wagon.
