Oh, gosh. I have had this gem (?) in my reefer for too long, awaiting inCANsion in The CANQuest (tm) & today seems to be the day. I bought this at the place just up the street from the Frankford Transportation Center (FTC) in PHL on my way to the Grey Lodge on one of my many visits. The Grey Lodge has now shuttered & I shutter at the prospect of this one. How great was this place? The locals used to marvel at the sight of Bro. Woody, replete in brown monk's garb, ordering the stuff even they would not touch! I used to make it a habit of hanging out for a bit before moving on. Those days = gone forever. 8=(

From the CAN: "Contains Alcohol"; "Premium Malt Beverage with Artificial Flavor, FD&C Red #40 and Blue #1".

It is the Blue #1 that REALLY makes this one special! I Crack!ed open the vent & beCAN a slow, steady C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. I watched in rapt fascination as it formed a finger of rolling, roiling, fizzy, foamy purplish head that quickly dissipated into wisps. It resembled Fanta Grape pop, hence its warning label, I suppose! 8=O Color was Purple (!) to Black/Opaque (SRM = N/A to 44) with ruby highlights. Nose smelled like grape pop, fresh from the chem lab. Danger, Woody Robinson! CANger, CANger! Uh oh. I called over Doctor Smith for a taste. He took a great quaff of it, smiled & keeled over. 8=( That was not much help! I took a gentler sip & allowed it to sit in my mouth & on my tongue. Phew. It reminded me of a Charms blueberry or grape lollipop that they used to hand out at the local AAA (triple-A) at the corner of N Prince & W Grant Sts, back when such things existed. I CAN't say that it was horrible, but it was horribly sweet. It was as if they had simply liquefied the CANdy & put it into a CAN. 8=p Liquefied grape CANdy sums it up + huge alcohol. Is this what you want? Phew. Even the down 'n' outers would proffer their AMLs to me in support of my NOT drinking this stuff. Finish was dry, the stuff of which massive hangovers are born(e). Oof. Gahdawful! YMMV.
