The constant blurring of the lines that separates sour ale from slushy gives 450 North it's content to ride that boundary now with pineapple, papaya and passionfruit for what's basically an beery spiked punch.
Just like fresh-squeezed juices right into the glass, Tropical Punch pours like fresh squeezed fruit juices with extra pulp while teasing nose with a tangy tropical, citrus, cidery and winey scent. A drift of soft sweet cream with the tangy scent of tropical fruit and fruit cocktail lead into a rich taste of condensed fruit, sorbet and sherbet as the initial taste is dense with cereal and candied fruit.
As the smoothie sour ale pummels the tastebuds, its nearly teeth coating tartness is intense, juicy and plush while notions of smoothie, slushy and milkshake absolutely come to mind. As the complement of passionfruit and papaya folds into fruit punch flavors, the suggestions of vanilla and pineapple soothe the senses before a brisk acidity steps in late. Finishing with a strong lean toward orange flavor, a light pithy bitterness only sells the fruit peel character even more.
Full bodied, tangy and firmly meant as a spiked punch, the sweet tropical fruit remnants outlast any sourness as a long aftertaste of fruit puree takes the session into a spiked sherbet direction.
