Smells and tastes like a combination of Budweiser and Red Bull, this stuff is swill. Not for the dedicated gourmet beer drinker, for sure, this beer was developed to compete with the booming energy drink biz. Not worth your time or money.

I do not recommend this "brew" if deserves to be called that. Actually I do not think that the information to the left could be correct, which reads: "This is a new beer that was just released on Feb 19th." My wife and her friends got it before her bachelorette party and that was before our wedding on February 2nd. We drank some at my bachelor’s party and it made us feel quite strange. Energy drinks mixed with alcohol are generally a bad idea unless you have no schedule of a life (and then they’re probably still a bad idea, just less so). This "brew" did remind me of anti-freeze or something for a car though. I hardly even consider a real beer. It was slightly malty, which might possibly count for something.

Canned as "Sparks Plus", 7%. Poured clear, vitamin-enhanced urine yellow with rising bubbles and nothing for head.. fizzy. The aroma picked up a bizarre blend of berries and herbs that left nothing enjoyable on the nose. The flavor had more of the syrupy berries that unfortunately stuck on the finish.. wet grains and herbs in there too.. wow this sucked. Light-bodied and fizzy on the palate with a sticky, nasty finish.. 90% of this was dumped.

When this first came out, I thought to myself- What a great idea! Beer that will give me energy! Then after the first sip I realized it was another horrible mistake. Could easily be mistaken for transmission fluid mixed with some dangerous cleaning solution. Don’t drink this.

Pours orange with no head. Looks like orange soda. Aroma of sugar orange flavoring, xanthan gum, and a well balanced malt and hop beer. Flavor is like orange soda and beer mixed together, moderately sweet. Mouthfeel is gummy, and medium-light tacky. Finish is dry and thick, like a soda. Kinda like tilt, but or*nge instead of apple/lime/watermelon flavored, or whatever green flavor tilt is. It’s actually a pretty good tasting useful beverage if you know what I mean.
