Cheap can from total wine. Pour is clear pale. Slight soapy nose, weird olfactory. Taste is initially civilized, lacks much of the ale bitterness I find in most domestic american ales. Goes down fairly easy. Not bad for an ale. Better than most. Easy drinken with no ill aftertaste.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white and light tan head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of peppermint, fake nuts and earth, a dash of soured notes (i’m not sure where they come from!) and some deep dark malts with some burnt aspects. Medium-bodied; Soured and very funky fake peppermint notes with a lot of roastiness along with some nutty qualities and a slight rustic earthy and musty finish with the grain finishing it off and a good deal of sugars at the tail end. Aftertaste shows the fake peppermint notes with some wierd sour flavours that are pretty noticeable and strong with a lot of sugars at the end and some roasty malts, but little of a body or robust beer throughout. Overall, a super odd and funky soured, barely minty, but super fake beer that has some good malt notes and a lot of caramelised sugars, but the mint and somehow sour components remain strong throughout - very interesting and not great for the style or the season, which is why I’m slightly happy to have this in May and not December! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Spirits in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (Store #004) on 30-April-2022 for US$4,89 sampled the next day here at my hotel in Bonita Springs, Florida on 01-May-2022.
