Remember the juice we craved as kids? Not apple or orange, but the tropical smoothie lookin’ juices that your mom said were too expensive? Well those juices got nothin’ on this beer. Enjoy notes of mango, papaya, guava and peach in your sippy cup.

Can poured into a Drake's Brewing Co pint glass
A: Pours hazy peachy golden amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces nicely.
S: Super sweet almost over ripe fruit, citrus, tropical, and stone fruit, earthy herbal notes, pine, a touch of coconut, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Tons of almost over ripe citrus, tropical, and stone fruit, guava, passion fruit, candied pineapple, mango, peach, tangerine, lemon lime, and papaya, plus faint berry and melon, some spicy pine, slight earthy herbal notes, a hint of coconut, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: Medium to full body, moderate carbonation, slight alcohol warmth as the beer comes up to temp.
O: Hits the target of tropical fruit smoothie juice. Sits a bit on the sweet side for my taste, and the coconut notes kinda threw me, but overall not bad.
