  The beer pours a nice red colour with a creamy, pinkish head. The aroma is slightly hoppy with cherry tones. The mouthfeel is creamy, medium-bodied with high carbonation. The flavour is definitely strong on the sour cherries.

  The beer pours a translucent metallic gold colour with a generous white head. The aroma is slightly metallic as well, with a little malt character. The mouthfeel is watery with some carbonation. The taste is very grassy. Too grassy for my liking.

  The beer pours a translucent dark brown colour with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma is malty with some sweet and spicy tones. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation. The flavour is dry, malty, a bit spicy, and a little hoppy finish.

  The beer pours a very translucent pale gold colour with a huge fluffy white head that is gone quickly. The aroma is very grainy/grassy. The mouthfeel is fuller than water, and far too carbonated. The flavour is very grainy/grassy too.

  This beer pours a beautiful translucent light reddish gold colour with a huge fluffy white head. The aroma is very weak with no discernable notes of anything. The mouthfeel is watery and highly carbonated. The flavour is also very weak. No discernable taste of malt, hops, honey...or even grain. If it wasn't for the frothy head and the words 'beer' and 'biere' on the can, I would have thought with was coloured water. I'm convinced the $1.75 I paid is $1.74 too much.
