Actually impressive on the pour. Hazy, dark orange juice appearance, with a towering head of 3 fingers, leaving specks/webs of lace all the way down.

Smells of spoiled grain, rotten fruit, squash, hop dust, and a squirt of citrus.

I can't stop laughing. Literally. This is so bad. It's not gross, it's just hilariously terrible. I've never bust out in a belly laugh at a beer before. There's no flavor that directly stands out above the rest, it's just a mishmash of spoiled fruits, cracker, prune juice, butter, and grapefruit rind. All together, nothing louder than the rest. Maybe a little residual bitterness on the finish.

Feel is actually decent, it's creamy and carbonated and ends with a tongue scrubbing numbness.

Overall, I paid $4.99 for a 24 pack. That's about 20 cents a can. Seems about right. I don't think you could force me to open another can if you had my fists in steel guiders. I've rated this and each category as I see fit. It's probably best dropped off at a trailer park party after hours.

This beer was purchased at the Minhas brewery. Looks like I am the first to review this beer. Hell yeah! Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of malts, honey, light hops. Taste is the same. Malt hevy, some lemony hops, a bit of honey sweetness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer, but not what I expect from this style.
