Hell yeah! 1 year and 3 months since this bad boy was last rated. Pours a cloudy beet purple with no head. Aroma of hawaiian punch and booze. Taste is very sweet. Same as aroma with cotton candy added. Its like a drunken carnival in my mouth. Medium bodied with a sticky texture. Fizzy carbonation and entirely too long of a finish. Overall, meh. Reminds me of four loko

Big clear bomber with a twist off cap. Purplish and cloudy, like my favorite lambic. I can assure you tho, there is no gunk on the bottom of this bottle. Fruit punch aroma. Oooh boy, this stuff is exceptionally sweet and fru-fru-fruity. The alky is present and its not as refined as you would like. Since most of the fruity beers I enjoy are not of this alky content, it is difficult to ignore the alky content once it manifests itself on the palate. It is almost like a spiked fruit punch at a party; ginger ale bubbliness, fruit and secret alky spike, probably grain alcohol! I found this enjoyable and friendly. Not too sure if I agree with the description, for the lifestyle of the fast paced and all. Seriously, fruit lambic lovers should try this for a kick in the head.

Mmmmm. Nothing quite says vomit like a nice big flavor of grainy, syrupy cloyingly and sickeningly sweet sugar and artificial flavors with an extra dose of nasty rubbing alcohol.
