Awful! The worst tasting sour I have ever had. Tastes like sour guava juice.

So this one pours super cloudy and thicc - it is more reminiscent of those fruit smoothie beers than I expected. I was thinking more of a Berliner weisse. The head is off-white, fizzy and fleeting. Within moments there is no head and no lacing remaining. The aroma on this is absolutely killer - if you like those smoothie fruit beers. It is just bright tropical fruit, berries, like a fresh fruit smoothie. I found it pretty great.

Taste follows the nose with just a huge blast of fruit on the palate. It is surprisingly tart and because of that It is really just the fruit, the tartness, and just a hint of malt underneath the back end. The fruit and tartness cover any of that wort note even as it starts to warm up. Feel is a bit thicker, but the fruit doesn't make it heavy at all. Really vibrantly carbonated.

Overall this is an excellent NA beer. Honestly I am not sure I would guess this was NA in a blind tasting and for that it has got to get high marks. That being said, if fruited sours are not your thing, you probably are not going to grab this one.

 

 

 

 

Pours hazy, dark orange pink in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is huge guava and sour mix. Light bodied, sour with moderate carbonation. Excellent sour, but a notch below Barrel Brothers. Excellent smoothie sour.

Across the board solid for an NA beer. Still kind of in shock...just enough sour presence, good carbonation and mouthfeel. Appearance is a complete pink tropical smoothie and it.... smells like real beer.

12oz can into a pint glass. Canned 4/30/21, so 10 weeks old.

Solid pale pinkish body. Small white head disappears quite quickly, so no lacing.

Fruity tropical aroma, guava, melon, but slightly off.

On tasting, the tropical non citrus fruit flavors are quite strong. There is a little sharpness.

Mouth between medium and full, finish begins fruity, then sharp, then tart.

Overall, tough to rate as a beer. It's pretty much fruit juice. Good though.

Not my style of beer.

 

L - 2-finger pinkish head recedes rapidly, leaving no lacing. Body is an eye catching coral pink.

S - passionfruit, guava. Super tropical.

T - follows the nose. Tart passionfruit jam. Moderate acid, with some sweetness in the middle but still finishes semidry. No bitterness.

F - medium-light body with lower than expected carb.

O - I dare anyone to drink this blind and identify it as na. It has no off flavors, and every aspect is solid. Granted that’s easier to achieve with a fruited kettle sour. But still, this is a must try for anyone going dry or semidry.
