Two things pop out at me right away. The label says "The fruity pink beer" and it contains "aspartame". So, a fruity pink diet beer?
I tried this 'beer' on May 29, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a reddish pink colour with a thin white head that stuck around. The aroma was sour raspberries and grainy malt. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and highly carbonated. The flavour was sugary sweet. It tasted very good, but not beer-like. More like what Canadians call a 'Cooler' -

The aroma was heavy on the sweet malt and grain. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was surprisingly good. Sweet grainy malt, with a nice smooth finish. Very enjoyable. -

I tried this beer on tap on May 29, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a blackish-brown colour with a creamy tan coloured head that lasted and produced a thin film down the side of the glass. The aroma was fairly simple with huints of roasted malt and coffee. The mouthfeel was creamy and full bodied, with mild carbonation. The flavour was extremely refreshing, and great. There were the same hints of chocolate in the flavour, along with a nice bitter finish. -

I tried this beer on May 29, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy dark gold colour with a thin white head. The aroma was rife with blueberries, but also grainy malt and some florally hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grassy, with some sweet malt, and a bitter finish, but any blueberry taste was minimal at best. -

The beer poured a hazy gold colour with a thin white head. The aroma was wheat malt, banana, and some spices. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was wheat malt, clove, and spices. A very good Canadian version of the great German style. -

The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a minimal white head, and a high amount of effervescence. The aroma was grainy malt and a surprising amount of hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was similar to the aroma with grainy malt and a surprising hoppish flavour. Definitely better than I expected for something that probably can be classed as 'swill' -

It poured a translucent red with orange hues and a huge white head that quickly collapsed. The aroma was sweet malt, some nuttiness and a little hoppy floralness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was more towards the grainy malt side with some grapefruity hoppish tones thrown in the mix.
