L: Mountain Dew. Minimal head.
S: Lime dominant. Lemon, pineapple, vanilla, apple.
T: Same.
F: Mountain Dew.
Overall: Tastes like a lime Italian soda mainly. Refreshing and pleasant. I’ll be fairly generous with the rating because this beer is kind of in a class of its own. I’m sure there’s no resemblance to German Berliner Weisses at this point. It’s just a base for a fruit smoothie. (I use the term fruit loosely).

The name of this beer is spot on, but I still was not expecting a glowingly opaque pastel green beer to pour out of this can! It's kind of cool looking, and kind of freaky, but hey it's for Halloween! Frankendrank has a short, fuzzy off-white to greenish blanket.
Taste delivers tons of key lime, and while it's definitely got a lime candy vibe to it, it's not too sour at all. There's less of a green apple impression, as the beer begins playing around with notes of Pixy Stix and even a touch of biscuit. The other added fruits don't have much of an impact, but those two schmucks are played out anyway.
The tingly but firm carbonation fills a medium-light body that finishes semi-dry. 450 continues fermenting out these juice bombs quite well.

L: I have to rate it a 5, that green color is fantastic. Head was about 3 fingers and settled at average pace. Minimal lacing but man, that color is one of the coolest looking things I've ever seen. Plus, love the can art.
S: Smells like green apples. Granny smith for days, very subtle hints of pineapple.
T: Man this is a treat. Tart and acidic green apple through and through, but pineapple and mango shine at the midpoint with a salty lime finish. Green apple and lime with mango in after taste.
F: Light in body, medium in weight. Moderate carbonation with no booze presence. Lacks the thick feel of normal slushies but still great.
O: definition novelty brew. Not sure what to think of it but hot damn, it's good. I am very glad to try this, and I am enjoying sharing this with the wife. Cheers!
