Tilt

(Can 47,3 cl) Pours a clear amber colour with a very surprising orange - or rather salmon - coloured head. Sweetish aroma with some artificial, fruity notes. Cloyingly sweet fruit flavours with accents of Hubba Bubba and similar artificial candy. Fluid Skittles? No traces of malt or hops. Here we really are on the periphery of what can be called a beer. 280306

(can) Crystal clear straw body with white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange sode, light vanilla. Taste is sweet, orange, honey. Flat light-medium body, some syrup. Alcohol well hidden. Nothing to seek out, but nothing to run from either.

Can… Orange/yellow lager with no head. Smells like Red Bull Energy Drink. Tastes like Red Bull mixed with orange soda. Medicinal. Medium-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. I really had to choke this one down because I needed the caffeine. Maybe the worst beer ever.

And now for something completely different. Ain’t that the truth?! OK, I’ll bite. Let’s see here, "Premium Malt Beverage". What does this mean? How can I tell this from non-premium malt beverages? Should I have examples? "Caffeine, ginseng and guarana extracts", ok, so I’ll be up all night jittering in a corner mumbling about fleas. "Natural flavors and certified color". This one is beyond me. I know that natural flavor can be just about anything. You could pick up roadkill, extract a protein from their blood and put it in this beer and call it a natural flavor. And certified color?! What? Is it Crayola certified or something? I didn’t know neon pumpkin was a color, but that’s about what this looks like. It does say this is a flavored ALE though on the side of the can. Damn, not many ales coming out of this company. Impressive! Anyways, onto the ol’ meat an taters. The smell reminds me of the time I once tried no-doz nasally. Don’t ask. It’s much more mellon and dust than raspberry. The flavor is akin to the chewable kids asprin of my past. Medicinal, cloying, dry, offensive, repugnant. This....is unacceptable.

You’re joking, right? I mean it tastes like a thawed orange otter pop... watermelon and orange candies... it’s a soda, I swear. Not a bad soda... and it’s exciting orange glow is seducing me... best beer purchase of my life. This stuff rocks.
