OK, so this beer in a can says its ale with blood orange, grapefruit and elderberry. Well it pours pretty much clear pale like any other macro beer. Has a slight orange nose about it. First taste is quite sweet, hard to find any elderberry nor grapefruit, but I do seem to pick up a slight flavor of orange. Its not heavy like blood orange but it does have some kind of fruit flavor in there, probably citrus. Good level of co2. Rather crisp. Interesting and sweet, seems like a flavored cider to me and not an ale. Overall, not bad, except its ability to seem like a spiked soda malt beverage. Easy going, sweet, no sign of alky, per se. Oh well, just another tick. I guess these RG bubbles thangs come in a fairly wide variety.

Can for 1$ off clearance sale shelf. Pour is big pale bad ass hazy IPA, appears a bit viscous. Really thick head that goes craggy and hangs. Nose is medium sweet cloying odor. First big swig is not really lousy, like most impy IPA (JMHO) but it is an impy IPA fer sher. Whew, a big fat wack wrecking my face. Mostly thick flat and oily on the palate. Hoping the alky content starts to take over before I get disgusted with this over the top bitter hoppy brew. Never could get used to the IPA, especially the impy doubles. I guess my beer taste will never mature, even after 5000 brews. I'll tick these bastards, especially if they're cheap, like this one; but have yet to find only a few of the IPA style that tickle my fancy. Yea, this one does not rise to the top IMHO, and it comes across in the finish as a brassy, cheap, flashy, garish, gaudy, gimcrack. It's so glitzy, loud, meretricious, tacky, tatty, tawdry and anything but tasteless IPA. So lacking in aesthetic or social graces of taste. There you have it; a cheap macro lager lover's impression of a terribly on style well made IPA. At least I think its making my senses slightly dull at the bottom of the can.
