Secret Machine - Strawberry, Mango And Passion Fruit
Dewey Beer Co.

 

 

Poured from the can into a nonic(k) pint glass.

Peach orange to slightly sludge like red berry color. Opaque with a nice off white forming head that is slightly tinged orange and manages a good three fingers. Minimal retention, and a good elevator descending head at a somewhat quick pace.

Pretty good mix of fruit sweetness and balanced sourness. Real good sense of strawberry almost as if the seeds were being stuck in your teeth practically. Other fruit flavors make their way particularly the mango which has a real sticky syrupy quality.

Palate seems a bit more like fruit juice than beer. Box juice of concentrate tropics, with a tinge of prickly carbonation. A llight touch of sour character just brings the product back enough into the beer realm, but still give the idea of a sour fruit box drink than anything else. Nice touches of strawberry and mango, with faint playfull carbonation, and maybe even a mineral finish.

Comes off a bit too much like a juice soda unfortunately, but is solid in the flavor department at least.

 

 

Secret Machine - Dewey Beach
Strawberry, Mango, Passionfruit Lactose Sour - 6% abv

L - 1-finger reddish white head atop a translucent orange body.

S - super tropical. Lots of strawberry and mango.

T - follows the nose. Quite tart with high salinity. No bitterness, moderate sweetness, no booziness.

F - light body with high carb.

O - it’s no Jream, but enjoyable on its own merits.

Thanks to bl00 for this one, from NBS BIF #007. 16oz can poured into 10oz fluted tulip. Poured a cloudy brownish-pink color with over an inch of pink-white head that had very good retention and moderate retention.

The aroma was dominated by the fruit, with a slight tartness in the background.

On the tongue, the fruit still had the lead, but the tartness had a more upfront presence.

The body was light, crisp, and had a dry finish.

Drinkability was awesome, the sourness balanced out the fruitiness wonderfully. Overall, a very good brew. A must-try if you get the chance.

 

16 oz can poured into a teku

A- A slightly hazy reddish orange with a two finger little pink head.

S- Lots of strawberries, some mango and passion fruit, tart, a little chalky, a little too much lactose.

T- Chalky and tart, lots of strawberry, touch of mangoes and passion fruit, some lemons, again lactose is a little too much.

M- Smooth, light body.

O- A decent fruit sour, feel they did a good job with the strawberries, but like their lactose IPA I feel the lactose should be dialed back.
