Slushy XXL - Juice Ade Tropic Punch
450 North Brewing Company

It’s interesting that I had to add this beer to BA. I thought all these hypey 450 North juices get added immediately but I guess not. Another one I picked up on a whim, this one sounds good. A Smoothie Sour trying to emulate Kool-Aid? Sure, why not. Let’s crack it open and see what it’s all about

Pours an opaque pinkish orange with 2 fingers of orange/white head that fades to a thin cap and leaves minimal lacing

Yeah it’s definitely sweet and tropical in the nose just like its source material. I’m picking up on aromas of cherry candy, orange juice, vanilla, pineapple juice, lime zest, and a touch of biscuit

It’s pretty similar in taste, but there’s a bit more of a tart bite to it which I like. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting tart cherry, orange creamsicle, pineapple juice, lime zest, lemon juice, and light vanilla. The swallow brings notes of orange creamsicle, cherry candy, tart passionfruit, lime juice, vanilla, and light biscuit

A medium body pairs with gentle tingling carbonation, resulting in a slick beer. Finishes sticky and sweet

Overall this is okay, but even for the style, I’ve had better. Oh well, I’ll get another one of these to try in a month when I get another random craving

A thin head sits atop a rather unattractive muddy colored body. Aroma: tropical fruit punch. Sweet, somewhat tart. Flavors: tart cherries, orange juice, pineapple, vanilla, tropical fruits & a touch of mild funk. No alcohol detected, mild carbonation but there’s enough viscosity for a smooth feel. A delicious thirst quencher.

Slushy XXL - Juice Ade Tropic Punch pours a murky red with no head. The aroma is sweet and sugary, with lots of cherries. The flavor is sweet and sugary, with lots of cherries and mixed fruit punch notes. Good thick body. Overall, lots of sweet fruit flavors, thick and sweeter.
