Poured a salmon pink color. Very weird beer, with a triaminic cough syrup flavor up front that was not as dominant as it warmed. Later, it was more on the finish, but it just was a bit strange for me.

Pinkish red color, with a bitter sakeish taste. The aftertaste is almost plastic or rubbery, if that makes sense. Its interesting, but not really to my taste

Had a small sample of this at Gingerman’s in SoNo, CT. Poured reddish. Flavor almost identical to olives, nothing I picked up in a beer before.

720mL bottle, no date. Mine isn’t pink at all. Clear light orange with a one finger bone white head, faded to a thick ring. Aroma was actually quite sulfurous--it smells like someone lit a 4th of July smoke bomb in my glass. There is also a bit of sweet rice and skunk. Flavor is pretty tangy with the smoke bombs sticking around. Once they left, it turned fairly sweet until the dry finish. A crazy rollercoaster of flavors, oh my ! Moderate to high carbonation with a light to medium body. On paper (or the screen), this doesn’t seem very good, but actually, I kinda liked it. I think I’ll take a trip back to John’s to take the old-ass 12oz bottles to compare to this one, that I think came in within the last week or two. Ha ha ha! the 1337 rating!

bottled, lacking much aroma, pours a nice "grapefruit" red with no head at all, with the color and carbonation looks like a soda, faily clam on the palate nothing heavy, very faint berry flavor noted actually reminds me of red bean paste, clean palate with just a mild lingering of hop bittering, nothing bad...but nothing exciting...pretty even.
