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.

Deelicious! US beer for the 2 year bday of my US twins!! TG never disappoints. Still probably my fave US brewery. Too bad for the kool-aid colour though.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours very red with a large foamy pink head. Aroma of mango and other things. Med body. Flavor is sweet/tart with mango and passion fruit - but something else which must be dragon fruit. Not dry, but far from sticky. Lightly astringent. Tart stands infor bitter. Refreshing and tasty.

Mango, passionfruit. Very tart and acidic. Could potentially give you ulcers, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Refrigerated pint can from shrubber85, best by November 8th, 2020 poured into a glass. Opaque red with medium pink head that dissipates fast. Aroma is rich dragon fruit, medium body, lower carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is tart dragon fruit and mango. Really nice.

Mango, passion fruit, malt, and orange peel aroma. Bright red with large but short-lasting pink head. Moderate sweet-tart mango, passion fruit, malt, and mildly bitter orange peel flavor. Nice body and balance.

Is there really no cherry in this?! I don’t remember dragon fruit tasting this good. The passion fruit really comes through too. Pure juice, but not the super sugary US kind. Guess which one it is.

Can shared. Thanks Sam! Pours a clear reddish pink color with a small bit of pink foam that lingers. Big Hawaiian Punch focused nose with mango and passion fruit really standing out. More of the same on the palate. Good carbonation. Good balance between sweet and tart with a dryish finish.
