Very good. Cloudy orange juice like appearance with scant carbonation. Smells is tangerine, passion fruit, mango, and light citrusy notes of orange and pineapple. Taste is mango and pineapple up front, notes of passion fruit, tangerine, and strawberry. Not thick like a smoothie, but definitely has thickness to a medium body. Slightly sour with a mildly assertive alcohol presence. A bit of a mouth watering finish. Overall, really flavorful and a distinct character. Very enjoyable.

 

 

 

 

16 oz can poured into a pint glass. This is an ugly beer. Looks like murky fruit juice (to be fair, that's pretty much exactly what it is). Aroma and flavor feature a ton of tart fruit flavor, maaaaybe a touch of wheat, and not much else. It's tasty but not really beer.

Tasted in a Rastal Teku glass from a one pint can on July 14, 2020.

 

Appearance - The beer poured a radioactive orange color, thick like fruit puree.

Smell - The beer had faint citrus notes with passion fruit most prominent.

Taste - Passionfruit and mango really stand out. Like many in this style, it barely tastes like beer. Tangerine notes appear toward the back end.

Mouthfeel - The beer is thick like a fruit smoothie. There is little hint of carbonation.

Overall - It’s hard to call this beer, but it is tasty.

Released late June 2020; drank 8/2/20 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a minimal, noisy white head which quickly dissipated; no lace.

Mango, passionfruit & tart tangerine notes in the nose; this smells like fruit juice!

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Mango & tart passionfruit flavors up front; tangy tangerine notes on the finish.

This is a fruit smoothie; it's not really beer, but it's enjoyable all the same. I'd have another!

 

 

Poured out of a 16 oz. can. Fruited “Smoothie” Sour with tangerine, passion fruit, mango, and soursop.

Pours like literal tangerine or mango juice. Turbid deep, rich orange color, dense, with fizzy carbonation that produced a tiny orange, soapy head. The head went away quickly and left no lacing at all.

Aroma smells like real fruit juice. It’s bright from both the fruit and the lactobacillus. Sweet mango, ripe passion fruit, ripe tangerine, fresh lemon. I’m not familiar with soursop, but I’m sure that is coming through as well. The sweetness of the mango and tangerine balance out the acidity of the other fruits and bacteria.

Taste does deliver on the fruit smoothie description. Ripe passion fruit, tangerine, and mango abound. The passion fruit and tangerine also add some tartness and the mango adds a nice balancing sweetness. Good amount of bright lemon tartness from the lactobacillus. Once again, I’m not familiar with soursop, but I’d assume that is adding to the flavor and tart level of the beer.

High medium body to somewhat mimic the body of a fruit smoothie. Light fizzy carbonation that you can definitely get in some sour beers, chalky, slightly sticky, slick.

Certainly drinks like an alcoholic fruit smoothie with no detection of alcohol on the senses. The fruit is authentic and fresh. No one fruit overpowers the others and the tartness is decently balanced by mango sweetness. May not necessarily consider this a beer, but it’s a damn good beverage anyways.
