(Can 30 cl) Very pale, close to crystal clear - perhaps with a tint of green and a white, dissipating head. Sweetish, raspberry aroma. Dry, sour, fruity berry flavours. No bitterness. I agree, this is Red Bull in a beer disguise. 210306

Can... Clear, straw-colored lager with a large, frothy, white head. Smells like berry jelly... every berry jelly ever created swirled into one. Tastes like a 70/30 mix of Red Bull energy drink and Budweiser beer. Medium-bodied and oily with soft carbonation. Sweet/tart, metallic-bitter finish. Everything else aside, this is a drink with a purpose! 6.6% ABV and lots of caffeine (guarana is basically caffeine as well), this shit will blurr your vision while making you feel wide-awake enough to fight and/or drive. Dangerous as Red Bull and Vodka! What’s the point? More late night fights? More wide-awake drunks on the road? More bouncers at bars? That’s it. The U.S. Bouncer P.A.C lobbied AB for this creation. Job security, you know.

Can from Party Town, Ky. Poured a clear pale amber with a small creamy white head that diminished quickly but did leave fair lacing. Light sweet fruity aroma. Light to medium body with fizzy carbonation. Light sweet fruity flavor with light sweet finish of short duration. I would not reccommend this to a freind.

Why the Hell did I buy this? Poured a light yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Herbal/fruity taste and aroma. Sweet. Bizarre beer. More of an Energy Drink taste than a beer. Novelty beer at the most.

Can at the Syracuse Holiday Brewfest Dec.04 2004. Light anemic yellow. Smell of raspberry and cream soda. Very sweet mix of cream soda and lactic acid. No body malternative.

Bottled. 5%. A red bull/lager/fruit alcopop hybrid. A pale yellow coloured beer with no head. The aroma is fruity with a little vomit mixed in. The taste is artificial and fruity with some light spice chemical mixed in. I guess it does what it attempts to do quite well, but it’s not beer as I like to call it. Dodgy at best.

Bottle. Pale gold in colour. Aromas are light malts, apple and ginseng. Quite sour. Basically Red Bull with traces of beer. Flavours are Red Bull with all its chemicals, artificial sweetner. No beery character. A(nother) cynical marketting ploy.

UPDATED: AUG 30, 2005 Definite Red Bull smell here, with some hops and slight citrus. Not good, but I give Augie an extra tenth for originality and an extra tenth for the alcohol content, which will allow rednecks to get fucked up faster and cheaper at NASCAR races. Then again, maybe that isn’t such a good thing?

Beer vodka and redbull in the one bottle, iv made it myself before and it was just as good as this stuff.

Bottle. Dull pale gold colour. Sweet aroma, smells kinda like Red Bull. Palate is sweet and thin, quite sugary. Peach/apricot flavoured candy floss. Way too sugary. Luckily i got this one for free.
