Perfectly executed tropical fruit sour. This leans a little more on the sweet side than I tend to like, but the flavor is incredible. Looks like pink grapefruit juice in the glass. Weak head. This would be great in a cocktail. Try this one if you’re looking for a tropical vacation in a glass.

Appearance: Pours guava and dragonfruit colored with a pinkish head building to two fingers; the head was rather fizzy but retained its formation leaving a few squiggles behind
Smell: Sweet and tart tropical aromatics with dragonfruit, passionfruit, pineapple and key lime prominent; guava, tangerine and a hint of marshmallow are in the supporting cast
Taste: The sweet and tart tropical flavors intermingle, with pineapple and guava being on the sweeter end of the scale and the passionfruit, tangerine, key lime and dragonfuit adding tart elements; the coconut and marshmallow balance out the sourness, after the swallow
Mouthfeel: Medium body with low to moderate carbonation; has some elements of a smoothie sour but does not go fully in that direction
Overall: Great name for the concept here but definitely representative of Dade County more than anywhere else in Florida

Pours a bright, glowing grapefruit-ish colored with plenty of head that was both more dense and longer lasting than I expected. Aroma is passionfruit & mango, plus some other fruits mixed in. Taste is sweet, with not a ton of tartness to it. The expected tropical notes are present. Feel is thin and low carb. I find this very tasty and very easy to drink.

Pours a cloudy raspberry-ish color with a finger of fizzy, short-loved, pink-tinted head that leaves a bit of a crown but no lacing.
Smells like a tropical fruit spritzer. They’ve got ten separate flavoring additions in this thing, and I’m not gonna try to pick them out one by one, but I definitely get passionfruit, pineapple and marshmallow pretty clearly.
The taste follows: a somewhat sour, somewhat tart, fairly sweet, tropical fruit medley with pineapple, lime, passionfruit and clear marshmallow underneath.
Medium bodied and somewhat creamy feeling with strong carbonation fizz.
There’s a nice mix of flavors here, but it’s a bit too sweet for me to enjoy fully. I’m happy to say the coconut is understated, but I’m not sure why they felt marshmallow was needed on top of the pineapple and other fruit. I’m tempted to mix some of this with some vodka or tequila or what-not.

Pours a dark pink, similar to the color of the can. With all the tropical fruit, it's hard to pick out a specific smell. Very fruity, with the guava standing out to me at the start and the marshmallow on the finish. Easy to drink with just a bit of carbonation.
