Poured from the tap. Medium dark brown with small beige head. Biscuit and roast malt with mild hopping. Rather underwhelming.

473 ml can. Pours a hazy amber with full head. Aromas of melon, candied citrus and soft wheat. Flavors of lemon wax, plastic, creamy melons, wheat and possibly some Belgian yeast. Not really sure what the intent is. Too heavy and thick to be refreshing.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange-gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, mandarin orange, cantaloupe and light piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, orange peel, white grape, cantaloupe, earthy yeast and piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Not bad, but was hoping for more.

Black, lasting tan head. Nose is light roast/citrus. Light sweet start, light roast with a medium strength lasting citrus hop bitterness Nice example of style

473ml can. Pours a cloudy gold-orange with a large, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of pale malt, pineapple and coconut. Sweet fruity flavour of pale malt, lactose, pineapple, tangerine, peach and coconut in a sweet finish. Medium body with a sticky, syrupy texture and average to soft carbonation. Juicy and fruity, not really pina colada, but not bad. Too much lactose makes this almost too sweet for me. Couldn't drink more than one.

Cloudy modest yellow body and zero foam. Wet lemon on the nose maybe, and someone tell me how that's supposed to resemble a mimosa. Taste is wet juice, vague grain, and I have to ask why they even bothered putting together such an embarassingly subpar beer.

Okay hazy medium orange body and minimal foam. Sort of a musty coconut on the nose, no idea how that is supposed to resemble a piña coláda. Taste is vague air freshener, coconut perhaps, piña colada certainly not. In fact I really have no idea what is going on here, but it's not worth remembering.

Nice hazy orange body and pretty good foam. Soft pine and melon on the nose, but still rather faint. Taste is chalky melon, soft pine, ending wet. I'm not a huge fan of the wetness but this is still working all right.

Nice foam on a clear gold body. Very vague cracker on the nose, almost not there. Taste is vague sweet hops, honey ending rather wet. The standard for backyard parties across the region, if only for its inoffensive nature.

Good deep red body and pretty much no foam. Mellow cherry on the nose, maybe some vague lime. Taste is a bright limey raspberry, good carbonation, dry finish with some lingering tartness. Enjoyable.
