19.2 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy gold color with a white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Strong fruit punch aroma. Fruit punch flavor mixed with some hops and a light boozy finish. Tastes like an a mix of an IPA and a flavored malt liquor. The fruit flavor is most dominant, but the hops keeps it from becoming too fruity. The 9.5% ABV is evident yet somewhat suppressed. Low bitterness overall. Medium body. Medium carbonation too. Alco-pop for hop heads?

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy passionfruit yellow with a finger of soapy head that lingers. Passionfruit, pineapple and red kool-aid aromas on the nose. Palate shows a synthetic concentrated artificial tropical fruit note. Finishes sweet with notes of saccharine-y tropical fruit. A bit boozy as well.

Can from a sixer from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours slightly hazy gold with a large creamy/foamy off-white head. Aroma is like fruit punch. Med body. Flavor is very like Hawaiian Fruit Punch, but it's quite a bit drier, and much more bitter. There's a tingle which could be passion fruit or some kind of spice. Interesting. Not my desert island beer, but I will probably have another.
