We have a fun one for y’all right here! Inspired by one of our Head Brewer/Co-founder Matt Tarpey’s favorite tiki drinks called a Pain Killer, this 5.5% smoothie style sour with a ton of lactose was conditioned on a ton of pineapple and orange purée, hundreds of lbs of coconut, and a small touch of nutmeg. Tropical, coconut, smoothie juice! Perfect for the summer!

Appearance - Pours Bright orange with nice white head that settles to a decent ring around the glass. Few spots of lacing around the glass.
Aroma - Getting lots of Orange juice like straight up OJ, getting a little coconut, not getting much pineapple thought. Smells like a glass of juice.
Taste - Taste is much more complex than the nose let's on. First sip I get the OJ but the coconut kicks in rather quickly might be getting some mango but so much OJ and coconut hard to tell. The O comes back around on the finish to really give it an orange juice finish. Never pick up the nutmeg.
Feel - Creamy smooth fairly thick, just like OJ leaves a slimy feel in your mouth.
Overall - Pretty solid beer nice flavors and great aroma. I think they hit what they were looking for.
