Look: orangish-red amber color with a thick pink head. Fairly substantial lacing.
Smell: a mixture of indeterminate topical fruit, vanilla, and a bit of alcohol that almost reminds me of rum.
Taste: Follows the nose, but WAY too sweet. The punch bowl series are sour beers but this one barely qualifies as a sour at all. The same flavor profile with a sour kick could have really worked, but the cloying sweetness is overpowering and off-putting.
Feel: nothing remarkable, good or bad.
Overall: the unexpected and undesired sweetness ruins this one for me.
