Red beer with short lived head. Aromas are a much milder version of flavors which are a great blend of fruits and flavors that work very well together. Slightly chewy body and great balance between tart, sweet and carbonation. Easy drinking.

Funky pour @Thirsty Growler. Clear, neon, matte magenta pour. Deep passion fruit nose, with a little watermelon that isn't really there. Flavor is mostly sweet mango with gritty passion fruit. Juicy, unfiltered, some salinity, only somewhat sour. Barely a beer. Not what I wanted, but could work in a frozen marg.

Lulu's draught, 1/4/23. Bright/neon pink-to-cranberry. Small, fizzy, pinkish head. Candy and dragon fruit with lots of sweet sugar, very low tartness (almost none). Some wheat-like malt or grain, a bit of biscuit...not very much other than dragon fruit and sugar. Don't get much mango and dont get passion fruit. Soft, sweet, lightly sugary, with vague tartness that doesn't balance the fruit. Dragon fruit and light mango with a hint of acidity. No passion fruit. Where is the tartness? Not much going on beyond a lightly sugary fruit beer.

Can thanks to Russell. Pours a cloudy ruby with small pink head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is dragon fruit, floral, cherry, wheat. Slick body, fruit punch, dragon fruit, pure sugar, nice tartness, enjoyed this.

Super hazy pink and ruby coloured body with a very large but fast-dying light pink head that doesn't leave any lace or remenants at all. Aroma of funky, odd and tart fruits with some lactobilly and even bretty notes here with some cheap, wine cooler like scents that have some fake fruits, but a bit of real dragonfruit, papaya and guava with some wheat here as well that ends with some yeast and bread, too. Medium to Full-bodied; Rich effervescence with a lot of real fruit flavours that show a great tart and even soured note from lemons, limes, oranges, guava and even some passionfruit here with a kick of yeast and lactobilly notes, but the soured and especially tart fruit is real, rich and great, but still easy-drinking. Aftertaste shows the guava, papaya and passionfruit with some lemons and citrus fruits as well with a good level of sweetness and enough support from the malts/wheat here, but the fresh fruit is great and super tropical. Overall, a great fresh fruit beer that hits the marks nicely for a sour with a bunch of yeast elements, but enough support from the malt and a complex finish make this much better than it seemed at first from the look and smell, but this is recommended to all, if you can find it. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Carmine Street Beers in New York (Greenwich Village), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$5,99 sampled just over a year later at my house here in Washington on 22-May-2022.
