We tried to blend red and white things together to be festive for Canada Day! It turns out you can't do that easily in a canned beverage. Inspired by strawberry shortcake, taste testers were reminded of Laffy Taffy and melted strawberry ice cream!
Smoothie beers are best kept cold and drank fresh, since the fresh fruit purees contain fermentable sugars that can and do lead to exploding cans. We've gone the extra responsible step of pasteurizing this beer, so that lapses in judgement shouldn't lead to costly drycleaning bills or deep cleans of your car or carpets.

473mL can, pours an opaque bright pink with a large, quickly-receding white head -- yep, looks like a smoothie. Smells like a smoothie too, with loads of strawberries, banana, vanilla, a little coconut, and some oak barrels still detectable beneath all that. Flavour is impressive, bringing out loads of fruit puree -- mostly strawberry and banana, with a hint of coconut and vanilla, and then the oak barrels take over with a bit of wild yeast. This is the only smoothie sour I've had so far that still retains sour beer character and complexity at its core. While the fruit and other adjuncts are overpowering, the oak barrels and funk add another dimension. Fun stuff and well-made.
