Listed as half pipe original recipe on my $2 reddish orange can of sour pale ale. No picture on this label. Almost at room temp. Big giant foaming pour and head on an otherwise pale yellow beer. Not munch aroma, considering the messiness of the nose. Yes, a medium high APA that is soured. Hides alky content fairly well. Goes down pretty easy considering the temperature. Nottah lottah co2.

12oz can. Simply put this is crappy child-centric artificial lemonade. Just so fucking disappointing what has come of beer nowadays. A few sips is all I can stomach.

12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 9/28/2018. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Lightly spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, coconut, vanilla frosting, cream, marshmallow, fudge, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of dark, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, lactose, cocoa, and coconut notes; with solid strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, coconut, vanilla frosting, cream, marshmallow, fudge, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, coconut, vanilla frosting, cream, marshmallow, fudge, toasted dark/brown bread, light herbal/grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, lactose, cocoa, and coconut flavors; with a solid roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent flavored cream stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, lactose, cocoa, and coconut flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very nice richness for the ABV. Really great balance of all flavors, nothing is overwhelming. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.

Pours dark brown from the can. Crown is frothy, sudsy, and subsides slowly. Aroma is a mix of roasted grains and soft chocolate notes. Taste is sweet, full of toffee and chocolate. Finishes with a very light hops bite. Body is medium, but to the lighter side. Carbonation is mild. Overall, nothing too exciting, but a still a solid and pleasant candidate for everyday sipping.

Can. Ok, so it snot lime green, go figger. Smell is what? Not much, nothing sticking out. At first I think the taste is slightly artificial but then I change my mind; it does start to taste like key lime pie, no lie. Me and my sig tau fraternity brother, Tony McCune, were experts on the topic because of tequila junction in the station square, in Pgh, 1980. It was the coolest mexican food place in PGh at the time. Their chips were to die for, YES! So yes, not bad on this one.

Push start! YEAH! Drank this wannah be IPA right from the can, I can tell the color on the rim is pale yeller, clear. Taste is big dull IPA hops all the way thru. Yes, citrusy on the back end but big dull blast up front. Come to think of it, smell is perfumy sweet dull hops as well, you know, like this hoppy beer has been aged a bit? heheh, the date code is 12/17, just made it in the freshy category. In the middle its annoying hop preservatives. Hey, if this is not pale clear yellah, I owe you one. BTW, if its a hop rocketed APA, wouldn't than mean IPA? Just asking, better reconsider this dull IPAs style, HAH! Cannot appreciate the IPA style in general, sorry.

After having the blueberry and raspberry jam, I was looking forward to this. However, quite disappointing and its quite artificial in nature, just as I feared with the jam series but was pleased. Not bad in the nose but he taste is something else. Yes, fake strawberry flavor with what seems to be cream candy on the followup. Below average fruit beer fer sher. Quite low on the fruit beer list.
