Florida Slush
Swamp Head Brewery

Pours the color of an Arnold Palmer mixed with raspberry juice. Pinkish head that leaves a slight amount of lacing.

Smells like raspberry juice and lemonade.

Taste is exactly like the smell with a tart, lemon finish. No indication of the 7% ABV.

Crisp feel with moderate carbonation.

Overall a nice fruited Berliner that is refreshing for the Florida summer.

 

Similar to the swamp head key lime pie, no head forms as the beer is poured from can to glass. This time however, at the very end, small head forms and does sit around a while. Hazy, darker amber color. Some lacing forms but disappears. Smell is quite sweet and unlike a typical beer, like lemonade. Taste is also quite sweet, did not expect the pleasant malt character that comes out. Distinct notes of lemon and berry. Malt comes in at end and hangs around a while in the mouth. Tartness hits a little hard, right in the back of the throat, but its not bad. Seems to be achieving what it’s sought out to be quite well. Would drink again.

 

 

 

Decanted from a 12 oz (355 ml) can into a Kane snifter; canned 06/29/20.
A: Pours a hazy, garnet color with a less than one finger, very light pink, brief lived head and little of no lacing.
S: Aromas of raspberry, cranberry, pink lemonade, and bread crust.
T: Sweet. Flavors mirror the nose closely. Bitterness appreciable. Subtle bread crust aftertaste.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: Absolutely delicious. Definitely a beer, although it would hard to distinguish from a "alternative."
