On-tap at the brewpub. Served in a pint glass.

A - Pours a pinkish-orange color with small chunks of fruit(?) floating in a semi-transparent body. There's a finger of light pink foam that settles to a thick cap, but not much lacing. Points of uniqueness here.

S - Strawberry, tropical fruits, citrus. Ridiculous juiciness here - it's light fruit punch. Doesn't come off as overly sweet of synthetic either.

T - Hmmm...this isn't nearly as good as the nose. Tastes like mango beer, with a funny aftertaste. Juice finish with light acetic acid and sourness. No alcohol (it's listed at 5.5%). Just kind of odd - like a beer cocktail of some sort.

M - Nice carbonation - active but not too harsh. Nice sticky juice texture with tooth coating sugars. More successful than Freedom of '78.

D - Off the charts if you're a fruit beer lover. I slammed down my pint in under 10 minutes. This is much better than Kuhnhenn's line of "Panty Droppers", and was quite refreshing on a hot summer day.

Tried this at the brewers guild fest 2010.

One of my favorites at the Kuhnhenn booth this year. I asked what fruits were involved and I just got a simple answer; "Its very scientific".

Anyway, the beer is an almost pinkish orange/red.

The smell is very nice and tropical like a smoothie or yogurt. I was reminded of a fancy juice blend. Strawberry-banana, mango, tangerines, raspberries. Honestly its seems to be such a melange that its hard to tell what most of the fruits are.

Taste is an extension of the nose. Like a creative juice blend using lots of different fruits and berries.

I thoroughly enjoyed this beer.

On tap at the Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Fest

Served with dry ice that made the beer 'boil.' It was a cool presentation of the beer. Color is a ruby pink. Pours a light pink head.

Aroma: Very fruit with some interesting fruit that blended well together. Strawberries and mandarin oranges. Sugary sweet.

Taste: More fruit blend. Tastes a bit like a wine cooler. Strawberries and melon flavors.

Mouthfeel: Crisp, refreshing, and smooth. Light bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. Ends fruity.

Overall, a very fruity beer but unique. I couldn't drink a lot of this but it was another interesting beer to try from Kuhnhenn.
