Tastee - Zombie

Between the grapefruit, lime, and sweet cherry the lime flavor comes through the most by far. Overall it's nice and refreshing but would be better if the lime weren't overwhelming. There is also an herbaceous element reminiscent of rosemary along with a hint of cinnamon.

Thank you CanConPhilly for this
16 oz can, dated 7/31/18, poured into a teku

A- A bright red with a three finger little pink head.

S- Sour, limes, earthy spices, cloves, lactose, sweet cherries.

T- Sour, limes, some grapefruit, sweet cherries, allspice, earthy spice, lactose.

M- Smooth, medium body.

O- An interesting sour, spices and sweet cherries work in it, but could be a little more balanced.

Pours a murky, strawberry-rhubarb-looking color with two fingers or raspberry-tinted head. Definitely a fruit beer, but not nearly as thick and pulpy as I had hyped myself up to expect. Modest lacing.

Lightly sour aroma of lime sour mix, strawberry rhubarb, light cherry and guava.

(My wife says it smells like the fermented juice left in a sippy cup in the back of the car. Not sure I agree, but I accidentally inhaled enough turned milk sippy cups that I don't remember ever consciously sniffing an apple juice one.)

Tastes like a fizzy fruit cocktail with a nice blast of lime, but the citrus sourness well cut by red fruits and sugar. There are definitely pie spices in there (allspice?), and a hint of lactose, too. Sort of reminds me of one of those fruit pie single-packed desserts you can get in a convenience store -- but with lime! A nice cream-cut fruit sourness lingers in the aftertaste.

Medium bodied with appropriately strong fizziness.

Anyone who hates beer but loves fizzy fruit drinks and pie will love this. It definitely tastes good, even though sugary sweet. I'm loving the lime addition. The spice and sweetness does get to be a bit much by the bottom of the pint, though.

 

 

 

L - 2-finger dense pink head atop a translucent maroon body.

S - strong spices! Cinnamon, pumpkin pie, vanilla, lime.

T - follows the nose. Heavily spiced. Reminds me of a pumpkin beer, but better. A little citrus, cherry, vanilla. No bitterness. Moderate sweetness. No booziness.

F - medium body with aggressive carb.

O - not my favorite of the Tastees. The fruits used are nice but the spices overwhelm everything.

Drank on tap. The spice bill overtakes this one, minimal tartness, and too unbalanced to be enjoyable for me. Almost always a fan of Veil, this one is a definite miss for me
