From a can this pours hazy light pale with a big foaming white head that takes up half the glass and then goes craggy. Mild sweet nose of perhaps peach. First taste is initially big rude wheat ale bitterness. Sharper pointed bitter bite. That evolves into a mild tart feeling on the palate. Can't really say that the tartness is peach nor apricot. The fruit aspect of this is quite muted. I guess what makes this ill-mannered a peach inspired beer is that tartness. However, if the label did not say peach and apricot, I'd never guess it from the taste. That crude bitterness builds thru the middle and just wont go away on the finish. Yes, lots of typical domestic impolite insolent cheekiness wheat ale character in this one. The only thing I find appealing, and can appreciate in this brew, is the mild tartness and the decent co2 level.

Cheap can 2$ at chalet. Pour is clear deep pale, very little head. At first I thought I caught a wiff of pine but when my nose gets closer I detect more of a helles or vienna sweetness on my olfactory. On the first swig, I think its a little sweet on the taste buds too. Yea, its some body with some vienna and helles combo coming thru. Its toasty, malty, and slightly sweet with a hint of caramel along with some sweetness and a clean, crisp subtle floral hop note. However, it does lack the toasty note of a true vienna. In the middle, I think the sweet thing is starting to get on my nerves. I like pale lagers but this has a little more personality than I can live with. OK for a tick, but probably would opt for something else next.

2$ can from vintage. Pour is virtually clear with a big white head. First taste is bready with a slight yeast background. Comes across a little boozy even tho its only about 5%. In the middle I'm getting a hint of astringent bitterness. Very good level of co2 sizzle. Towards the end its becoming a little more beady and naughty. Yea, this stuff finishes with a near soapy attitude. Can take it or leave it, meh.

Can 2$ at vintage estate. This stuff pour fairly light and clear, light brown with a darker orange tint. You know, many red ales aint really red but this one at least makes an attempt at being red. Nose is mild sweet malts. First big swig reveals a malty beer with what seems to be a little peat in there. Decent co2. A little bit of bitter bite start to show thru in the middle, mild astringent bite. Goes down pretty easy but could use some manners on the astringent bite. Decent finish with more astringency build yet can be appreciated for what it is. In the end it needs some help to keep up with Brew Keepers Eireann Dearg, Biker Rumblin Red, Sullivan's Maltings Irish Ale (Export Strength) or even local Beaver Brewing Horny Sheepherder. There, you have it.
