355 ml can. Purchased a while ago because a couple fellow collectors had asked about getting the cans.
Didn't review at the time because it was not in the data base, and I just assumed it was more of a flavored beverage than beer. Still have a couple in the fridge.
Pours clear, iced tea color (sweet tea, not brewed). Fizzy bubbles, not enough to call head, then disappears.
It smells like an overly sugary iced tea, some lemon.
The taste is pretty much iced tea mixed with a light beer. No grain or hops, just sugary sweet.
Thick and cloying, fizzy like a carbonated soda.
This was a tough one to review objectively: It 's beer flavored with iced-tea, that's what they were going for, that's what is delivered, nothing more nothing less. Designed to be a cheap alternative to Coors Light Iced-T.
I hope this Ice Tea trend has come to an end.
Now, I supposed I should do a side-by-side tasting with the 'Radical T' Gluten Free variation.

355ml can - I've seen these around in 15-packs, and thought, no fucking way, but when popping into my 'favourite' big-box liquor store today at lunch, lo and behold, there it was, a single, for barely more than a loonie. Not much info on the can - I'm guessing the 'natural flavour' added here is some sort of cheap iced tea powder.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber (ok, well-mixed iced tea) colour, with one finger of puffy, very loosely foamy, and mostly just fizzy ecru head, which blows off in a mere instance, leaving nothing in the way of lace around the glass.
It smells of sugary, fake fruity iced tea, maybe some lemon or lime of the Slurpee syrup variety, and a musty, earthy underlying dryness. The taste is pretty much oversteeped and oversugared black tea - huh - but of course more in a Good Host manner, than anything you might make yourself at home. There might be some Boxer or Clear Creek Ice 'beer' notes under there somewhere, but I sure as hell don't feel like searching for them.
The bubbles are fairly prevalent, until they exhibit the supportive power of well, what's less buoyant than air? Thick and heavy iced tea has a strong, full, and smooth body, and so does this - and maybe more than a bit of clammy pithiness. It finishes sweet, of course, nothing changing, for better or for worse.
Yeah, I hate saying it, but this doesn't really taste all that bad - the heady dose of, um, I guess 'real' black tea overlaying the base lager, whatever it is. Which brings us full circle, in a manner of speaking: if the beer doesn't walk, talk, smell, or taste like a beer, is it really one? Hey, Coors Light Iced T (surely the naming inspiration for this one), c'mon over, and let's compare notes, talk shop, y'know?
