A - Pours a murky dark burgundy with fizzy white head. The head fades extremely fast leaving some light sludgy lacing.
S - Aroma is lemon, lime and tart cherries.
T - The taste is sweet and tart cherries, orange peel, peach, lemon, lime and and a light amount of lactic funkiness in the finish.
M - Full body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with soft prickly finish.
O - As advertised. Melted sour gummy worms. Definitely an easy drinker.

Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours plum colored and is topped with a fleeting head.
Lime and cherry stand out the most in the smell
Cherry upfront with a lime undertone. The peach is buried under the strong cherry and lime flavors. The passionfruit tries to come forward but is stymied.
Full bodied with a thick mouthfeel
This was refreshing and smooth. It went down way too easy. I liked it a lot.

So yea, this is one of those smoothie sour beers - its murky, chunky, opaque, sludgy, ugly ass beer. Thinnish, weak head. Aroma has notes of fruit - its tarty, sweet and somewhat artificial. I do get notes of peach, passionfruit, cherries and lime.
Taste follows the nose with tart notes of fruit. Its sour. It reminds me of sour gummies. The fruit tastes like fruit flavored fruit ... i.e. not the actual fruit. Feel is gritty from the chunky debris in the beer. Moderate carbonation.
I do not really know what to say about this beer. Its ... as advertised? Sour gummi worms? Yup. Smoothie beer? yup. Is I a beer I'd want to drink more than one of? Absolutely not.

Pours an opaque reddish-pink with a quarter inch light pink head that leaves blotchy lacing. Smells sour with a bit of wheat and citrus. Tastes like alcoholic gummy worms, starts sour and finishes slightly sweet. Tastes of sour limes, cherries and peaches, wheat and just a hint of funk. Tart and puckering mouth feel, light side of medium bodied, prickly carbonation.

Pastel salmon, almost puke-ish pink-red, with a very short, uneven khaki-pink fuzzy blanket.
The flavor combos used here take on exactly its namesake. It's quite tart, moreso than other 450 North Slushys, and also lighter and slicker in feel, but juicy too. It's got a tingly puckering limey cocktail tang with passion fruit in the thick-ish semi-wet swallow.
Childhood in a can. Stoopit joooosay, with a spicy fruity sourness.
