It pours looking like mango juice but not thick - just the color. No head to speak of but it collected a ring of bubbles at the edge. Looking at a picture of the namesake cocktail, the color is similar but much darker in the beer.
It smells citrus, tropical, rum-like and a tad bit sweet. This is promising a refreshing experience so let's see...
Is pretty tasty, actually. I get quite a bit of orange backed by pineapple. Then the rum comes to play and its nicely balanced against the fruity bits. Lime - its playing nicely in the background and emerges with some booze flavors after the swallow. There's some spices in there presumably from the voodoo syrup concoction. Hard to nail down but I definitely get a little cinnamon and there's some syrupy sweet to go along with the rum. There a little almond flavor and a bit of earthy ginger along for the ride.The base gose comes out eventually but it is barely present, a little biscuity malt and eventually some salt and mineral tang.
The feel is not as light as I expected but it still manages to be refreshing. A little stickiness on the lips keeps it from being light.
Overall, this a very good entry in the Speakeasy series of cocktail-inspired brews. Oddly, I found it more enjoyable and interesting the more I drank.The flavors work together well. The orange and pineapple play off each other, the rum just kicks it up, and I'm not entirely sure what the falernum is adding but there a syrup taste and some mystery spices.
