Yet again, here we go. Picked this up in Milwaukee I think. Only my 2nd North Dakota beer. Old lady drank most of this one.
Pours a unattractive appearance, looks more like smoothie than beer. Straight trub vibes. Beige and orange in color. Muddled. The aroma was of sweetness. Banana, sure I can find it. Its not hard. Lots of banana, chocolate and strawberry.
The taste, unrepentant amounts of sugar. Totally one of those is it even beer type of beers to get the casuals and traditionalists both up in arms. It was polarizing, but at least someone liked it. There's just nothing in terms of hops and malt to speak of here. Its all about the adjuncts and innoculations. I mean, if you like bananas in your beer, this could be your jam. It does deliver on what the label says.
The mouth feel is thick, carbonation is fine, but all around it doesn't do much for me, just not beer centric enough and the adjuncts aren't my kind of adjuncts. Kids might like this.

Poured from a 16 ounce can dated 7/15/22 into a tulip glass.
Look- Dark pink, light pink/brown foamy/curdley head, opaque, multicolored visible particulate, granular residue clings to glass sidewalls, above average lacing, extremely above average head retention.
Smell- Strawberry, chocolate, banana, high strength of scent.
Taste- Banana, strawberry, chocolate, very sweet, very slightly sour at finish, high strength of flavor.
Feel- Full body, average carbonation, very sweet, very slightly sour at finish, silky, smoothie like, moderately mouth coating.
Overall- Look was the only weak point to this beer. The bouquet was good and strong in intensity. The flavors were pleasant and vibrant. Feel was excellent with a smoothie like character and silky feel from lactose. Nice drinking experience, next can I just may try with a dollop of whip cream on top!

Drekker Chonk Banana Split Sundae Sour, 6% ABV. Pours thick and opaque medium-red, with a one-finger pink head that left foam and puree residue, much of which ended up in my mustache. Nose is banana, strawberry, chocolate, and lactose. Taste follows, quite like a banana split, moderately sweet, faintly tart. Decent thick and creamy mouthfeel. Overall outstanding.

As soon as you crack the can you are greeted by a wave of strawberry and banana in the air. Highly fragrant beer. Pours a ruby read, incredibly thick. Does the name “chonk” justice. Flavor is chocolate, strawberry and banana. Just like a banana split! Really lived up to expectations.
