Poured from a 16 oz can dated June 17, 2021. Aroma is super fruity with lots of coconut, orange and pineapple. Moderate lactose notes and hints of grain, nutmeg and alcohol. Pours a very.murky, pale, whitish, yellow-orange with a medium sized, thick, creamy, white head that recedes quickly to the edges and lingers for a bit. No lacing or legs, just a smoothie-like coating on the glass. Flavor is rather sweet with light acidity and faint grain notes. Low bitterness and light alcohol notes. Lots of lactose, coconut, pineapple and lighter orange notes. Faint, but present nutmeg that lingers into the finish. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid slushie beer. Lots of fruity notes and lactose with hints of nutmeg that lingers into the finish. Could actually be a bit thicker, but is otherwise solid. Based on previous reviews they must have changed the recipe as the beer is not very sour.

Can. Pours clear golden, medium creamy white head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is pineapple, lemon, sour mash, vanilla. Flavor is light tart, fruity, tropical, piña colada, lovely actually. Vanilla in a sour beer is usually not a good thing, but it totally works here to sell the tropical feel.. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Excellent.
