A: Slurry of strawberry mixed with magenta-tinged hibiscus flowers. Head is a beige-pink lemonade.

S: A hollaback to Sno-Berry Peace Tea, Snapple Go Bananas, Capri-Sun Strawberry Kiwi, and Fruitopia Fruit Integration. It's a lot of fruit, but it's integrated so supremely, this shit is just bananas.

M: A slightly spritzy Odwalla drink. Medium-full bodied. Compliments the smoothie flavors well.

T: Guava, kiwi, mangosteen, raspberry, mango, orange, and pineapple. It runs the tropical gamut, thus it's explicitly sugary, but not Grenadine sweet. It has an earthy, dark, slightly mineral glace that really conforms the tropical starburst of flavor into something agreeable. I also like bananas; they are definitely an undercurrent in this beer, adding to its richness.

This beer had the potential to flop big, but it really comes together in a big way.
