Can, probably from a Kroger? Well, anyway this stuff is a typical fruit beer from the start, originating before anybody even thought about craft brew as a wave. The nose is dull fruit beer. The eye is slightly pink on top of clear pale. Yes, first impressions on the taste buds? This is your typical fruity beer from way back when, so I think; in the days of modern craft beer this may not be a hit. More on taste? Its just plain old fruit beer when beer used to be beer, not some stupid straight up ass IPA bitter bullshit Its just decent tasting bubbly beery stuff that was basically quite refreshing. Yep, not bad; more like a decent pale lager with some unsweetened koolaid added. There, you have it.

Pour is a dark red with a large foamy tan head. Aroma is cinnamon and vanilla with a spice in the back round I can't quite nail down. Flavor is more cinnamon, vanilla and some cherry juice with a bitter finish. Lots of different flavors all mingling around. Nice winter warmer with lots of spices.

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is bubblegum fruit yeast ester. Flavor is more of the ester with a little spice like allspice. Finish is clean with no aftertaste. This was ok. Not much of a hop presence but things were going on the right direction.

Willebecher draft at Fretboard Brewing in Blue Ash, Ohio. The pour is a slight haze orange golden with a small white head. The aroma is an apricot citrus fruit, resin and a bit of dank. The taste is a dry resin floral apricot with cracker malt in the back. The palate is light bodied with active natural carbonation and a resin dry lingering finish. Tasty.
