Slushy XL - Jungle Juice
450 North Brewing Company

16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating, but been in my fridge for 3 years. Pours turbid tropical fruit juice color with a 1 finger foamy off white/fruit colored head with poor retention, minimal lacing, with pulpy consistency. Amazing nose of pulpy passion fruit, coconut, mango, kiwi, and pineapple juice. Taste follows with huge passion fruit, coconut, mango, kiwi, and pineapple juice/pulpy fruit flavors; with some lemon/lime/green apple sour notes in the back end, a bit of peppercorn from Brett. Light-medium fruit/lacto tartness, herbal bitterness, and Brett spiciness on the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; balanced lactic acid and fruit pulpy body with no cloying/puckering notes. Fairly crisp feeling from carbonation, super smooth slushie mouthfeel on acidity. This is the best slushie sour I've had in awhile, maybe ever. Damn, mind blowing levels of fruit flavor. perfectly balanced acidity.

Cloudy, yellow color. Medium-sized, white head. Pineapple and coconut dominate the aroma. Moderately tart, juicy, and tropical taste. Maybe a bit too tropical for my taste.

 

 

 

Can poured into a willi becher

Brewer Notes: Smoothie-Style sour ale with Passion Fruit, Coconut, Mango, Kiwi & Pineapple.

Looks like mango purée, solid orange liquid, weird big bubbles that immediately evaporate

Aroma is mango, pineapple , passionfruit and coconut

The taste is sweet and sour , mango, passionfruit, kiwi and banana,coconut.

Smoooth Creamy mouthfeel with a crisp tart finish.

Good beer

 

 

Looks like mango juice - completely opaque, bright neon orange. No real head to speak of. However, it is not chunky or sludgy in appearance - just looks like juice.

The aroma continues the juie theme with it smelling like freshly squeezed pineapple juice. there are some notes of coconut and mango.

Taste follows the nose with, again, lots of juice notes. Pineapple, coconut, mango and some tangy tropical fruit notes. Its moderately tart, but not really all that sour tasting.

Feel is super thick and heavy, like a smoothie. Moderate carbonation.

Overall this one is definitely more enjoyable than some of the other ones I have had.

 

 

A - Pours golden orange with no head.

S - Aroma is mango, pineapple and coconut.

T - The taste is mango upfront followed by passionfruit, kiwi and banana mid palate. The coconut comes through in the finish.

M - Medium body with medium/light carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a crisp dry finish.

O - Solid smoothie style sour. Tons of flavor only being 4.5% abv.

Pours a slushy yellow gold color with no head. Aroma of mango and coconut. Taste is sweet fruit juice. No bitterness at all. Slightly sour. Very easy drinking.

Opaque goopy neon sunset yellow with a spongy pale maize head that dies quickly to a silky surface leaving a small amount of fine, clear pulp on the glass.

This is very much a glass of straight Dole pineapple juice, first, foremost, primarily, and exclusively. There's a little sharp sourness and a nice froth that, with a couple more minutes, might bring up a faint herbal coconut accent, and a hint of spicy passion fruit. But it's pretty one note.
