Enjoyed on tap at Hunahpu's day.

The apperance on this thing was something else. It was a stunning pink, very similar to dragonfruit juice. I saw someone carrying this around, heard someone ask them what it was, and made a bee-line to the tap, as many others were as the person manning the taps pulled glass after glass of this. The smell was also exceptional, it was sharp and full of fruits on the nose, the dragonfruit and passionfruit stood up above any of the other fruits. Very sharp and inviting.

The taste on this was also absolutely exceptional. It's very heavy on the fruits and very natural tasting, very sharp and acidic. The fruits stood out front and center here, with just a touch sourness as a backbone. Basically can be summed up pretty simply. Very tart, very sour, with very natural fruit flavors to boot. A great beer, perfectly refreshing in the Florida heat, and something completely different from CCB. I hope they brew more of this! The mouthfeel was nice and well-carbonated, no complaints. The drinkability was absolutely phenomenal. The tartness and incredible fruit flavor just made me keep wanting to go back for more. An amazing brew, and probably my favourite from Hunahpu's Day.
