Canned 10/20/20 "Real Thicc and Juicy"
Opaque pinkish-red, with light , pink head , that persists for awhile, and leaves no lacing. looks like fruit punch, with a head.
Smell is, unsurprisingly, passion fruit, dragonfruit, and guava, with a little "fresh" malt aroma (wheat), that is common with goses, & other sour wheat beers.
Taste is guava, passion fruit, and dragon fruit, in that order of prominence. A slight herbal flavor (Michigan Copper hops?) , and dried lemon zest come in late, and linger. Light bitterness, and moderate sourness, less than the typical gose or Berliner. Slightly drying finish, that balances the sweeter aspects of the fruit.
Feel is medium thick, and juicy, with moderate, soft carbonation. The mucilaginous feel at the back of the throat is slight, and less than is typical of most sour beers.
Overall , enjoyable, and easy-drinking. I would like it better with less of the herbal (whorehound+sage) element, but then again, this is a re-issue of their first attempt at a fruited sour, so it can be forgiven, in the interest of history. (I missed it, when it was first released.) That aside, I'd get it again, if their more recent ones (Trippy Tree, & Slighly Fuzzy series) weren't available.
