16 oz. can, thanks to Timmy! Pours an unclear, yellow color, with a small, fizzy, white head. The nose is cantaloupe, tajin, lime juice, maraschino, and jalapeño. Sweet and juicy, with a massive heat. Light, acidic, and smooth. Nice enough, but waaaay too spicy for my tastes.
500!
Very pleasant burn, the salt gives it a bit of a gose character, still nice and juicy.

Can at Free the Whales. Pours a cloudy golden with medium off white head. The aroma is watermelon rind, salt, peppers. Slick body, watermelon, light salt, nice habanero pepper in the finish, very good.

Super hazy golden and peach coloured body with almost no head at al that fades very quickly after a few seconds and no real bubbles, movement or anything resembling activity. Aroma of strong melons, mango, papaya, light oranges and a strong amount of chiles with a lot of depth, both in terms of heat, but more importantly in terms of scent and complexity in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong fruity flavours and a light tartness shows through at first with a big chile and heat note that hits the right balance of both sweetness from the fruits but light maltiness and dryness, but a good chile and heat bite from the peppers. Aftertaste shows some dry malts with a light dose of wheat and soft grain with a light spicey quality from the chiles, but the fruit, sweetness and balance are nice, especially for a refreshing, summer beer. Overall, a very nice fruity, spicey and light beer, but full of flavours and complexity - very nice all the way around and especially as it's warm! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Viginia on 18-September-2020 for US$4,76 sampled at my house here in Washington after the last day of training for a race, for what should be chilly, but is over 55 Deg F here in Washington near the end of November, where it still feels like Summer.

Pours a straw from a can. Light fruit aroma is nondescript but the pepper starts coming in. Flavor is a pleasantly spicy gose with a hint of fruitiness, well balanced spice. Pretty good beer.

16oz bottle. Poured a very slightly hazy yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was very fruity candy. Really reminiscent of watermelon candy jolly ranchers. Sweet, fruity, juicy.
