this may have taken on several different forms over the years, but this year its a pink beer, not unlike green flash did for a similar cause. its cool, with a lot of pink in the look, and a lot of citrus in the nose. i get lime for sure, and something a little perfumey, which leads me to hibiscus, although i suppose it could be a raspberry puree or something giving it this color and aromatic. less hops than expected from these guys, just a grassy cut to balance on the back end, but its surprisingly not all that flavorful for everything i smell. its not bad at all, i really like it actually, but i dont taste the lime thing i smelled, and i definitely get very little pink anything. great carbonation though, and its hyper dry, which i like in a beer this color, you never expect it. its cool everyone is getting on board with this cause, and its nice to have a beer like this every now and then, but its nothing special, and not as good as anything they make on a regular basis. seems like the breast cancer thing has plenty of traction. the nfl all does it for goodness sake. what about ecological and social justice or something? seems like there is a lot of funding for this cause, more is always better obviously, but some breweries could stand to mix it up. this was on tap at jakes in littleton, worth trying while its on...

I don't think this is an ESB base, maybe golden or pale, but it pours pink, has lots of complexity, and is dangerously drinkable for coming in at 8% ABV.
