750ml bottle at share. Copper pour with a tiny, disapearing head. Aroma is sweet and malty, light fruity notes. Taste follows with sweet maltiness, cherreis and a hint of tartness. The pucker lingers for a while on the palate.

Pour is a dark red with a small white head. Aroma is a red berry. Flavor is more berry but this is sickeningly sweet. Finish leaves what I guess is the elderberry on the tongue. Way too sweet for me.

Pretty much ditto of Grain Belt. Pour is fizzy yellow. Aroma is of grain and not much else. Flavor is the same. Maybe a little more malty body than grain belt.

Aromas are cereal with a touch of floral. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, a little on the sweet side up front going to more bitter towards the end. Okay body. Okay beer.

Tap at DU..in 2023...5-6 years old? Bright sweet tart aroma. Sour IPA tone and flavor. Dried out, but still drinkable. Candy odd undertones. Juicy tangy hops flesh out the sour. OK.
