Notes via stream of consciousness: This is the Philly Standard with Punch, which I assume is like Hawaiian Punch. I'm also assuming it's just flavoring? I am wrong! It's brewed with pineapple, orange, lemon, blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry. Interesting. It's poured a hazy deep golden body beneath a short head of white foam. There is a definite fruit punch aroma to it! I get mainly pineapple, orange, and berry but that's pretty much what's in it except for the lemon. Can I smell some lemon? Ahh, yes, I think so. On to the taste... it's exactly as the aroma suggests it will be. There's a lot of fruit but not a whole lot of beer, and I'm OK with that. It reminds me of a radler as it's fairly sweet. I would be lying if I didn't say that I'm impressed. Now, is it my kind of beer? Not really, but that doesn't matter because it's about the beer itself. It promises fruit and it delivers all around, and it's nicely balanced. Some people might like it drier, or even less fruity, but you can't argue that it's really well done as it is. There's a little bit of bitterness there, not much at all, but along with some acidity it dries in the finish as the fruit fades. It's medium bodied and crisp. I don't know, maybe I'm coming around to it. Of course, I know that if there was a cooler full of these beside me while watching a game on a hot day I'd blow through two or three of these in about a half of an hour, so no, maybe this is not for me. The head retention and lacing could have been better but DAMN did they get this one right. Superb.

12 oz can. Fizzy carbonation that dissipates quickly. The flavor is sweet and somewhat fruity. Not much in the way of hops. A pleasant beer intended for tailgating and seems well-designed for the job.
