When I saw this 16oz can at my local bar, it definitely picqued my interest. Strawberry, blueberry, marshmallow.. sounds pretty baller to me... and it was an affordable price too. I was served it in the can itself, looking back now I should've asked for a glass but this place doesn't exactly keep their glassware clean (quite noticeable when downing $2 Zeigenbocks, #dirtyglassmafia but I digress). So my rating for the look is admittedly pretty arbitrary.
Putting the can up to my face, I'm immediately hit with that smell that you get when you blend up a fruit medley, specifically the fresh puree strawberry smell. Got a little bit of that blueberry tartness, and that marshmallow sweetness, maybe even a little watermelon type vibe. The taste all but confirmed these smells, it's like the marshmallow man bought a Ninja juicer and jizzed all over your palate. Somehow the beer still maintains a bit of an "ale" flavor to it, and for 10.5% I was honestly surprised that it had a bit of that adjunct/light beer type of mouth feel.
There is a little bit of a "watery" component to the mouthfeel admittedly, it's just surprising that 10.5% could be hidden away in one of these The alcohol is completely negligible in the flavor and smell, I'm sure the marshmallow man could take advantage of you if you sipped his sweet and sour nectar for too long. I ended up ordering another one because it definitely seemed novel to down a few of those bad boys and see where it takes me. After 2 of them (and several 2$ Zeigenbocks), I was noticeably getting quite a buzz on; the uninformed could easily find themselves plastered downing a 4-pack of these without checking the label.
The fruit punch/smoothie/sour flavor was badass, it is a little bit watery, but is just a really good beer. I've never really delved into sours that much, a few here and there, but this is up there with any of the best ones that I've drank (and surpasses them). I would be more than happy to give some more fruity, light, Marshmallow Man jizz type dranks like this a serious try in the future. Well done.
