Slushy XL - Unicorn Juice
450 North Brewing Company

Bright orange pour with no head. The aroma is dominated by peach, vanilla, and mango. The flavor is tart and fruity with a light touch of bitterness. There’s sweetness, but it never becomes too much. Tasty and refreshing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: Pours a murky opaque glowing bright mango yellowish orange in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate bright yellow + bright orange + peach + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall soapy sudsy pale orange colored head that reduces to a medium to large sized patch of mottled very thin film covering a little more than 45% of the surface of the beer and a very thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy tropical fruit (mango + guava + starfruit) and juicy stone fruit/peach. Light aromas of slightly tart lemon citrus latco.

T: Upfront there is a very light flavor of slightly sour wheat malts with minimal amounts of sweetness and a light to moderate flavor of slightly tart lemon citrus latco. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical fruit (mango + guava + starfruit) and juicy stone fruit/peach. Moderate lingering tropical + stone fruit juice/purees flavors.

M: Slightly heavier than medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly thick/chewy (like a smoothie) with a light amount of acidic prickliness. Hints of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a thick chewy smoothie mouthfeel with a hint of dryness. Very enjoyable flavors and aromas from the tropical + stone fruits.
