If you've already begun to implement a summer shift up to your drinking habits, allow us to introduce another new addition to your park, patio or cottage-swilling repertoire.
You've probably seen Mad Jack in one of its various guises before – Molson's colourful beverages also carry premium lagers in Lemon, Apple and Ginger flavours as well as a Hard Root Beer. Now, they're introducing a bright orange can to the lineup. Hard Iced Tea, the latest member of the 'Crazy Good Family,' shares plenty of the same genetics as its summertime sipping next-of-kin.
The flavoured malt beverage is a day-drinking friendly 5% (ABV) brewed in Canada. It balances natural tea taste with a lemon flavour that's muted enough to elude the tooth-crunching sweetness similar drinks have, but light enough that you won't feel like you have to wait until after midday to crack a can.
Pack a couple in the cooler for the next long weekend and surprise the beer-drinking friends you couldn't convert to radlers last summer.
$2.75, Beer Store.
