Sweet, hint of vanilla-blackberry, and stone fruit nose on this one! This has a thick and viscous, blackberry-apricot swallow...a mild tart/sour vibe follows and lingers at the end. Man, this is so soft and heavy on the palate, it is like drinking a smoothie! Good Stuff!

Had on tap. Of the slushy beers I tried, this one indicates to me what the style's potential is. Super thick radish colored body with some bubbles emerging through the depths. Smells powerfully of all three title fruits, with slight papaya and cherry too. Taste starts with the blackberry in all of its fullness, then the apricot cuts in powerfully, before the mango rounds it out. In these transitions I get brief hits of pineapple, cherry, and papaya. Feel is super thick, tart, refreshing, and fruity, can feel texture changes in the taste transitions. Is this beer? Sure why not, have some fun you old curmudgeon! Actually really enjoyed this as a completely different experience.
