Appearance: Hazy faint red with a one finger tall pinkish head of low to medium retention. Aroma & taste: Sugared berries (arguably cowberries), malt, very distant spicy yeast. Ho hop traces. Too sweet and too hopless for what it's supposed to be. Mouth feel: Medium minus body, average carbonation. Summary: Underwhelming even given it's Konix.
