"It an energy drink with beer - so - how to review?
As a fruit beer? Nah. Gonna rate as is.
Pours a neon yellow with a foamy head that leaves a ton of thick lacing. Very carbonated. Aromas of Red Bull and Miller Lite - very sweet with pineapple syrup. Taste is again mostly "Energy Drink" with a sweet, carbonated soda pop-ness that is kind of citrus and very sweet. Ok for a caffeine burst - not very good as a fruit beer. It did give me a caffeine buzz though."

"It smelled fruity and tasted like red bull with a hint of booze..Its basically a Steel Reserve 8.1 % cut down to 7 and had soda added to it..We used this one night for power hour game..and it gave us all heart burn fast and hurt our stomach..after that we said no with it..and stuck with real beer..if Im going to drink another one like this..ill drink tilt."

"I must admit to being a fan of energy beers(if you can call them beers). After drinking quite a few of them, I have learned which ones to drink and on what occassions and what time of the day. I must admit my favorite one as being Sparks Plus. Sparks Plus has a true 7% alc. plus what must be a ridiculous amount of caffeine/ginsing/taurine. It's almost like crack in a can. There is a time and place for Sparks Plus but unless you want to be bouncing off the walls all day, only drink 1 or 2. None of the other energy beers have anywhere near as much kick as Sparks Plus. In fact, I have to be careful with this stuff. If I want to have a few drinks at night and actually go to sleep, I will not drink Sparks Plus. In that case, I'll drink B to the E. As far as Sparks Plus, this really should NOT be considered a beer. It's basically Red Bull with 7% alc. and a ridiculous amount of caffeine/ginsing/taurine. Orange crack in a can is the best description."

"The aroma is very sweet and of cough syrup. The appearance is a pumpkin-orange with a small, lacy head on top that is light-orange and dissipates quickly. The mouthfeel is light in body with no complexity with some malt balance. The flavor starts out like cough syrup but then turns to Flintstone vitamins with an aftertaste that is slightly malty. Overall, this is crap. It is way too sweet and not very good. I am not even sure this is considered beer.""

"i guess this is there "ice" version..pours with a medium head, actually most of it sticks around, real nice red bull sweet smell...dark orange gold...has a huge bitter back, maybe its the alco sneeking in...pleasant sweetness..like a red bull/soda with the added bonus of 7%..strange yet actually enjoyable..does have a unique taste, alco is hidden well for a sodie pop...these can be pretty bad sometimes but i like it, i can feel my stomach warming..lots of pineapple in the taste dept...........not the best aftertaste when it starts getting warm."
