The flavor, we can assure you, will be exquisite. This heavy hitter is strikingly sour and brewed with Oregon strawberries, orange puree, and rich vanilla.

16oz can served in a nonic pint. Bottom of the can is stamped 2618 CANDYMAN. Bought it at Beer Junction about a month ago.
Pours murky orange-red. Murky doesn't seem to cover it. Turgid. More flocculation than liquid. Orange-ish mud. Smell is strawberry, vanilla, citrus...everything it says on the can, except slapped in the face like a steel gauntlet with improbable brass knucklage. Sweet, tart; booze might actually be noticeable (not surprising for the ABV, but surprising for the overall profile).
Taste is slightly more restrained, though the profile is similar. Less of an armored slap in the face, more of a suckerpunch. Tons of fruit, tart, not attaining juiciness but definitely hitting yogurt and fruit smoothie characteristics.
Mouthfeel is thick, chewy, a little on the chunky side, but not disruptively so. Overall...if you want a beer, or you want something subtle, look elsewhere. If you want a 9.6% tart fruit smoothie with strawberry jam smeared across the banner, you're golden.
