Ridiculously funky murky green coloured body that looks like a sour apple candy gone wrong, but in liquid form with a pretty thick, four to five centimetre tall soapy off-tan and light green coloured head on top - this is very funky looking, but odd and at least makes me laugh! Aroma of strong limes, a lot of brine and salt, some funky artificial fruit notes of apples, oranges and lemons with a dash of wheat and oats here in the nose and a good deal of additional sugars in the nose. Medium-bodied; Very strong rich lime flavour coupled with a big oat backbone and some soured and tart citrus notes with a lot of brine here as well, almost as much as a gose with a much more full maltiness and fruit quotient as well. Aftertaste is fake fruits with the limes and oranges noticeable along with a big kick of creamy lactose and vanilla with a dry finish from the malts and a soft bite of tartness at the end that sort of tempers the richness of the lactose and oats. Overall, this is a beer that just about works and can still be drunk of course, but the funky colour will immediately put a lot of people off (perhaps just me since I've never had a [real] Maragrita before), but this is a bit too artificial and lactose heavy to be great. Nice to sample regardless! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 05-September-2022 for US$5,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-April-2023.
