Pour is a pink grapefruit with a fizzy white head. Aroma is grapefruit and lemon. Flavor is likewise grapefruit and lemon with it all pretty artificial. There is nothing on the can letting you know what ingredients they are using. It has a fizzy tart finish. This is more seltzer than a beer.

Can (19520) pour from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. It’s a deeply hazy light brown (iced tea) with tons of sparkle, finger width khaki head with fair retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is moderately strong toffee, cracker and milder fruit. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, this is probably pretty old so it’s holding up pretty well. OK.

Pour is back with a large tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and a little nutty. Flavor is about the same decent roasted malt with some bitter bakers chocolate. A little thin on the mouthfeel but otherwise a tasty simple porter.

Pour is a cloudy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is a simple fruit but with a large sweet honey. Flavor is again some honey then a little orange peel. As far as blonde ales go this was pretty good. It had a few things, like a bit honey, that i was not expecting.

Pour is a real dark red almost brown with a small white head. Aroma is a cinnamon raisin bread. Flavor is more of a English toffee and leathery malt with some more raisin and treacle. This was not a boring American red ale, this was more English style winter warmer.
