Such a unique beer! Pours a rich deep shade of dark pink. It really does have the backbone of an IPA but finishes like a very light refreshing sour. A mild tart red currant flavor is balanced out by a very distinct pineapple sweetness. I also love the artwork, and always appreciate a full pint.

I got this brew from Tavour and I'm pretty bummed I can't get it locally. This is a fantastic beer to drink on a hot day.

Passion fruit and red grapefruit colored body; thin, soapy head. Pleasant fruity sweetness; raspberry and mango with pineapple in the aroma; mild cereal presence underneath. A very pleasant fruit juice flavor reinforcing the aroma notes. Heavy body; lush and velvety on the palate; dull sweetness with an offsetting tart dryness.

Make no mistake. This not my kind of beer and I have no intention of revisiting it. It's way to sweet and fruity and comes across more like a fruity, sippy drink for kids. That said, I believe the brewery hit the mark for what they were aiming for. And for that reason, I can get off my personal high horse and give them props for a job well-done.

16oz can bought at a Binny's in Illinois and flown home. Dated 11/19/19.

Pours a murky pinkish/grayish/amber with a small head and medium carbonation. Smell is strong resin, guava, and fruit salad.

Taste is not at all what I was expecting. It's tart and fruity with a hoppy undertone. Strong bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium to light. Overall...this is interesting, but not entirely successful. Also not entirely unsuccessful. I'll finish this one, but I don't want another one.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on November 30, 2019. Loaded up with pineapple, mango, red currant and raspberry. Finished off with Rakau and Mandarina Bavaria hops.
