Can at home. I bought this a couple months ago but got drunk and left it behind on my travels. Lost hope we would be reunited but my travels brought me back and I found my can in a friends fridge awaiting my return. Pours yellowish amd you cam smell the booze as soon as u pop the top. Also some pineapple and marijuana on nose. Tastes of pineapple, cocounut, cedar, rubbing alcohol, rice, and weed. Harsh unpolished palate amd boozy warming. Tastes as expected with packaging.
