This is probobly the best fruit beer I have ever tasted but my expierience is limited.
Arrived a pale golden and just a little murky, a thin island lace with accompaning glass cling and medium carbonation complete the picture.
The aroma is fruitmash to the pear.
The taste is well balanced to the malts with hints of ginger, pear and peach leading the pack.
The body is a medium/full.
This brew would make a nice thirst quencher on a hot summer day.

This is a bad beer. It pours a nasty hazy gold color with chunks of stuff that isnt yeast (maybe citrus particles? I hope!). The head is lacking and lacing is minimal. The aroma is like five alive. Its a good think I like 5 alive. The taste is also like 5 alive, with some grapefruit and orangey flavors. There is a faint hint of malt in the background. The finish is very sweet. The mouthfeel is syrupy and unpleasant.
What did they use for a base for this beer? the third runnings of Michelob Ultra? Its not beerlike at all (except in apearance). And the citrus flavors are weak and artificial tasting. Avoid this crap. Its one of the only beers I poured down the sink.

Grapefruit juice, citrus brewed with their amber. And sweetness from? ANd pop carbonation? Very refreshing and a change of pace at the Fort York annual beerfest. Make no mistake, this is more juice than beer, a punch. I have drunk worse. Dark yellow haze.

Sampled this at the st lawrence craft beer show. Came in a clear bottle with a tacky bright coloured label. Poured a amber/gold colour with no head, left no lacing. Smelled like orange pop, pretty much tasted like orange/grapefruit pop.
I was convinced that this was just some malt beverage, but to be honest, I couldn't even detect any aspect of 'beer'. No hops, sweetness seemed like it was from added sugar. Was carbonated like a mike's hard cooler.
Stay away from this one.

Sampled at the good beer festival. This is only classified as a beer because it is a malt beverage brewed with citus oils and juices added after fermentation. It has a cloudy yellow look..no head, lots of big bubbles...high carbination like a spritzer. Odors of grapefruit and sweet confectionary smells. same mouth feel you get from an orange crush..grapefruit tastes and sugary with a slight malt accent. Not my drink at all but the ladies seemed to like it....I suppose that was the Brick's market focus. with this summer fruit drink.
