Better Man Rtd

Better Man RTD is a ready-to-drink canned product from Esplanda, made in Massachusetts. It comes pre-mixed and sealed, so there is nothing to measure, shake or garnish: open the can and pour or drink. The catalog lists it under IPA, so expect a bitter, citrus- or pine-leaning flavor profile rather than a sweet, fruit-forward one, though the exact flavor and strength are best confirmed on the can's label. Serve it well chilled. Straight from the can works for cookouts, tailgates, the beach or a cooler on a boat. For a slightly more composed pour, use a highball or pint glass, or a rocks glass over ice if you prefer it colder and a little diluted as it sits. Bitter, aromatic drinks of this style generally pair well with salty and fried foods such as wings, fish tacos, burgers, sharp cheeses and spicy dishes, since the bitterness cuts through richness and heat.
