Fruit Punch Capri Suns on the nose. Palate leads with a sour kick, but this thing is an absolute crusher. Cherry, strawberry, pineapple, & lime. No lingering acidity, with a residual punch of tartness. This is dangerous.

Taster flight at Voodoo. Hazy mauve pour, ring of foam. Sweet, candy aroma, Jolly Rancher. Taste is sugary, sweet, hard candy, red Jolly Rancher. Finishes quick.

Foggy pastel red with a fairly tall, pink-ish white foam head that clings in coral lacing all over the glass.

The surprisingly spicy or prickly "red" flavor seems to emulate pineapple-forward fruit punch backed by a touch of vanilla-dosed cotton candy, while somehow exhibiting a balancing drinkability.

The crisply effervescent yet medium body makes for a quite satisfying feel that's more substantial than a soda while no where near the heaviness of a pastry sour or slushy beer.

I never realized this was such a coveted PA beverage, having never had it myself, but man was it voraciously consumed by the locals--I couldn't even get a 4-pack on-site! Overall, it was not as sticky sweet as I was expecting, and it was definitely less tart than green, so I can see why the hoards would descend upon thee with such fervor.

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy pink hue with a soft pink head that fades to leave light lacing and a creamy halo.

S - Big aromas of, well, red kool aid. Super powdered cherry fruit drink. I actually giggle smelling this because it only smells like cherry kool aid. Wild.

T - Taste is similar to the nose in that it drinks like super tart lactic cherry beverage. There is really nice sugary sweetness but at the end of the day this simply tastes like kool aid.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, tart, crisp, flemmy.

O - Overall this was a very confusing beer. As a beer this is not. In no way is this a beer. Fizzy alcoholic drink sure, but a Berliner no way. Just drinks like carbonated cherry kool aid.

Thanks to rudzud, maybe...
Medium fluffy creamy pink head with good retention, thick lacing, bright hot pink reddish kool aid color

Nose basically kool aid fruit punch, lots of various genetic fruits, there is no beer at all, literally no beer, just kool aid

Taste super sweet kool aid, again just loads of genetic fruit punch kook aid and even loads of sugar,.tart sour acid in the back off the tongue, this has no beer, literally no beer, it's just kool aid

Mouth is med bod, sugary as hell, medium carb, sticky sugar finish

Overall this was just sad, there is no beer, it's just light alcohol and kool aid mix, as a beer it's terrible
