Very slightly hazy straw yellow with a modest white head but some nice lacing. The aroma is pineapple with a touch of lime. The taste is pineapple, lime and hints of guava with a light malt base, sweet and yet nicely tart, very refreshing and tasty. The body is light, plenty of carbonation. Altogether, this is a very pleasant and refreshing brew. It would fit in well at any beach, even in the mountains.

Poured from a 12oz can best by October 22 2022

On the pour a 1 finger soft white head that quickly recedes to a thin covering and leaves some nice lacing. Body is a hazy golden straw yellow, with fine light carbonation.

Aroma is literally juicy and quite tart. Smells of pineapple lime and guava quite prominently as promised. Some yeasty almost beery fermentation notes are present, but this is very fruity.

Taste follows the aroma with big tart fruits, but is a bit less sweet than the smell implied. Still quite tasty, and now I can even detect some light barley notes so this is definitely a real beer (I don't trust most A-B brands). Nothing off and relatively balanced on the sweet to dry scale.

Feel is light and a bit dry with a medium finish. Decently high carbonation bite and a juice like mouthfeel make this very refreshing and an alcoholic substitute for a San peligrino Italian soda.

Overall this is very good for the style, but sours really are unique in the beer world. I'm not really sure how this is made but if you want something different that isn't just some crappy canned cocktail, this is it.

I'm not into sours but I'm into this beer! The fruity flavors are vibrant and fresh with a zip. While the after taste is Wheaty with some fruity undertones it doesn't care linger with heavy flavors. This beer pairs well with summer time fires, paddle boarding, and fishing. Burpability 3.25/5

Though labeled as a sour, this beer really drinks more like a light fruited wheat. The sour almost comes more in the feel than the taste giving it an added zing, but not overpowering like some other members of the family. The fruit notes are spot on, not tasting artificial or rotten. Smells like a summer beach day and drinks like cool mountain air.

 

 

 

12 oz can, best by 2/21/22. Pours slightly hazy straw yellow with a medium creamy white head that retains fairly well and laces the glass.

The aroma is slightly tart pineapple and tropical fruit.

The flavor is mild slightly tart pineapple and tropical fruit, with a slight astringent finish. The mouthfeel is a bit light bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, a decent mild fruity sour.

Heavy pineapple, pleasantly tart/sour, maybe a little malt. It's a good one!
