"At first the beer looked good when it was dropped off in front of me but after a closer look it started to look cheap and fake. Quarter inch cap capped off this reddish brown body, the body seemed way to clear and light looking for the brew, looked fake. Smell was all sour strong malt with a very out of place banana and melon aroma coming through, very unpleasant. Taste is almost unbearable strong sour malts that finishes very sweet and bready with a large amount of chemical flavours are in the mix. I was kind of excited for this it is a new beer on tap here in Edmonton and that doesn’t happen to often, but dam this is just bad, if I was at home I would have dumped it."
