Yay, boatshoes, for allowing The CANQuest (TM) to try so many unusual CANned beers! I apologize for the delay in getting them reviewed and added, but I wanted to have quality photos to accompany their inclusion in the database.

From the CAN: I CANnot read Chinese 8=( so I CANnot impart anything. That said, if you think these CANs are getting recycled, think again! We had a visiting Chinese teacher in our school last year and if she returns, perhaps I CAN get some assistance.

Another Pop! & Glug! How timely, given a recent thread about Poptop CANs.

It puts me in mind of a "The Rockford Files" episode in which Isaac Hayes appeared as Gandolph Finch (great names!), CANstantly referring to James Garner's character as "Rockfish" and Finch had just been released from a long stretch in the CAN. To try and impress Rockford, Finch crushes a CAN on his forehead, but Rockford deflates his ego by pointing out that during Finch's time in stir, aluminum had replaced steel in the manufacture of CANs. They would still have been pop top CANs back then and the memory of watching the show religiously on Friday nights with my late Pops is still vivid.

As soon as the Pop! occurred, the room smelled like pineapple DumDums! Ha ha. I am easily amused in my advancing age. I could not get it to generate any head, but the color was the sickly greenish-yellow of the original Gatorade. ROFLMAO! This was destined to be a treat of the highest order. The nose smelled like liquefied pineapple DumDums in a classic example of better living through chemistry. Mouthfeel was fizzy and the extreme sweetness inherent in this one was almost enough to cause adult-onset diabetes. My heart was racing and my mouth tasted like I had spent the day loading up on kiddie CANdy! Woof! You had best be really enamored of the taste of pineapple esters to take on this gem. Finish was sugary, pineapple-ish and Bob-awful sweet. Whew! I may need a lay-down after that one.
