16oz can served in a SIP fest 2020 snulip. No visible date.
Pours hazy light amber. Small head, not much carbonation. Smell is kettle sour.
Taste is tart and super bright fruit juice with a little tart background.
Mouthfeel is thick and juicy. Overall, it's good -- as a juice, more than as a beer.

Was excited to see this at Windmill Farms. Had some of Wild Barrel’s Vice offerings on a trip a few months ago and was really impressed. Also had a Strawberry Cheesecake sour that I reviewed, giving it a 4.04. I’m a sucker for Berliner Weisse POGs, so was expecting good things here.
Poured a medium yellow-to-gold hazy color with two fingers of frothy-to-fizzy off-white head. Good spotty lacing. Decent retention. (Sight - 3.75)
Smelled just like the title. In order got guava, passion fruit, orange, peach, strawberry and grapefruit. From the can the order was orange, passion fruit and guava. So good on the nose. (Smell - 4.50)
Tasted almost as good as the smell. In order got passion fruit, guava, orange, peach, grapefruit, strawberry and Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Rolls. Very sweet. (Taste - 4.25)
Light body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Long, sweet finish. (Feel - 4.25)
Really liked this. Excellent overall. My only gripe is that it was just a tad too sweet. I prefer Stone’s Notorious P.O.G. to this. (Overall - 4.25)

Tasty beer. It brings all the flavor and fun of the islands into your glass in San Diego. The blend of the 3 fruits is pleasant and equal; no one fruit overpowers the others and all are represented well. Its light, crisp, nicely tart and not too acidic. A nice addition to the ever-expanding Vice lineup.
