Can at home shared with Laura. Bright darker red color, virtually no head. Aroma is weird, it reminds me of pudding, desserts. Fruit, yoghurt, sweetness and distant chocolaty notes. Flavor is sour and red fruit. Berries mainly imo. Berry juice. Not my thing but I think it is what the label says, so we'll done.

Can at home. Unclear pale yellow color, medium to full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, bitter hops, some tropical fruit notes. Decent body and carbonation. Not bad.

Can at home. GUSHER! Murky pale yellow color average sized off-white head. Aroma is a bit stale, citrusy and light tart. Flavor is lightly malts, dusty, citrus, light tart again. Hmm no, not good. Might be infected.
