Apple Peach Mango Marmalade
Dewey Beer Co.

Poured from the can into a nonic(k) pint glass. Listed on the can as a fruit smoothie beer.

Keeping that in mind appearances are.. .interesting. Turbid and nearly chunky looking, coming out like a bunch of thick pulp juice out of a carton. Sludgy mixing orange brown, with a fascinating head formation, one that gets to be stuck in reverse off a classic pour. The bubbles get stuck in the middle and almost go down, then up, to form the head which is strangely fascinating. Two fingers evolve, with half a decent amount of staying power, with some pulpy leggy lace on the glass. Color nearly matches the can, but slightly lighter. Appealing not exactly, but also it does look like it claims to be so can't argue there. Hard to judge here.

Appearance aside, the aroma is noticeable off the pour. Juiced fruit and apple and peach sweet sensing on first whiff. Pulpy amounts of peach mush with little hint of sourness if at all. Comes off very sugary smelling, almost syrupy too.

Palate is a sugar rush. Huge amounts of just what seems like white sugar in abundance. There's a faint hint of carbonation, and sour prickly"ness" just barely but it's slammed by all this fruit puree and sugar that it gets completely buried. Sadly too, the fruit distinction in this doesn't really come out, I can't even pick apart distinct peach, apple, or any distinct tasting fruit on the palate here. It comes off as one giant cocktail mostly of fructose or something. Mouthfeel luckily seems to have a saving grace but can get into a sludgy and of course smoothie feel.

Still drinkable, but missing that sour punch, beer character in general, and just fruit tasting angle. I think calling this a kettle sour is a stretch, and a beer smoothie I guess, but this isn't particularly appetizing for me even in the mush and milkshake realm.
