Can. It's an orange colored, unclear beer with a small white head. The aroma is citrusy, grapefruit and lemon, but feels artificial. Some vague notes of beer in the far back. It's dry and medium bodied, nicely carbonated, with a flavor dominated by artificial grapefruit and lemon. Medium length finish. Soda pop, with a very light twist. Not my drink. 240204

Can. A clear straw colored beer with a small white head. Very gentle aroma with clementine and a hint of spices. Pale malts and fruitiness. It's quite thin on the palate, softly carbonated, semi dry, with very little bitterness. Fruity flavor with little else going on. Sort of refreshing, but very uninteresting. 240106

Pale golden, white head. Aroma of glue and rubber. Thin and horrible. Euro lager. Premium??? This is the thinnest beer: No trace of malt or hops. Taste of paint thinner.

Can, from trade with Cunningham. It's a crystal clear golden colored beer with a small white head. The aroma is mostly fruity, with grass, pine cones, hay notes and some wet cardboard. Hints of sulphur and cheap yellow apples. It's medium bodied and cardboardy on the palate, softly carbonated, with a light sweetness. Feels surprisingly dry though. Fruity flavor too, following the same pattern as the aroma. Hay, grass, wet cardboard, white bread, yellow apple and notes of sulphur. Not much bitterness going on, but there's some. Medium length finish. Delicious... 231216
