What this beer has going for it: cool purple slushy appearance, an open mind to something new. What this beer fails to do well: smell is unbalanced with hops being way too bitter for the fruits, taste even more so and has booze leakage, feel is far too dry for a slushy, general combination of styles is misguided, finish especially is bitter, bland, and heavy. Fruits are there for a split second before being lost to the muddling. Undrinkable, drain pour

Pours a very cloudy purple color with a finger width foamy head. Head retention is mild as is lacing. There is some thicker lacing on the sides of the glass like a slushie. Bigger strawberry aroma with a hint of pineapple. Odd tasting for sure. It starts has the strawberry slushie taste with a more bitter hop and bitter aftertaste like an IPA. Medium to heavy bodied with mild to moderate carbonation.

Bought from Tavour.
Not knowing what to think about this radical rendition in a novel style, I browsed Tavour members' ratings and they range all over the place. But basically, I warmed to this Encore Slushy; thinking it is a genuine piece of work, probably even has more love in it than I know.

Looks start below average as I am a big fan of the NEIPA's foam. But Smells say "drink me, I'm refreshing." And it is as advertised, a slushy with malt. Pretty full in the mouth, chewy.

I also want to give 903 some good OA credit for pushing the envelope. Their lineup does not rely on pandering to the heavy-hopped American palate. Their most rated offerings on BA are a range of creative darks and only a few AIPAs (of which many, I speculate, are NEIPAs.) This is a Mom n' Pop shop serving a northern Texas community and I hope I have contributed at least a little to their continuing success.
