weird hazy orange drink color, reminiscent of a really good hefe. No head. Smells fruity in an acrid sort of way. Fragrances of melon, apricots and passion. Taste is sweet with no sign of bitter ale bite, has some malt liquor alky flavor in the background, but just barely. Could be a little more bubble on the palate. Finish very odd, yes its fruity but I also get this unique lingering feeling like I just ate a bowl of sugar sweetened Cheerios. A little rude on the tummy, once inside.

22oz bottle. Sweet passion fruit/guava aroma. Hazy orange-yellow with no head. Very sweet passionfruit flavor - no malt, no hops, not even fusels. LIke drinking a fruit juice mix. I can see how this is popular with people who just want to get drunk but has absolutely NO beer characteristics at all. Hate to steal someone else’s description but ROGUE nailed it - this is fermented Snapple. And I think the description meant to say complements (as in completes) versus compliments (praises) but then again...

Wow, Let's slightly alter the artificial flavors we use to make this sickeningly sweet flavor taste like some other nasty fake fruit. It's like making a batch of koolaid with 3 times the amount of sugar and then pouring some colt 45 in to it. . .
