Watercolors - Spooky Froots I

SUPER EXPLODING CAN from all sides - crazy looking, but kept unopened somehow. Cracked open to a huge explosion and only able to save about six to eight ounces of the beverage, however, I'm not sure how much I really lost here, so I'm not sure how full this was in the first place - but crazy explosion. Aroma of rich fruits of course with guava, lactose, mangoes and a good deal of papaya here with a lot of wheats and oats as well, but the fruits and associated fructose is crazy here, as would tell by the continued fermentation in the can. Full-bodied; Rich oaty and especially wheat malts dominate with a bunch of lactose, cream, vanilla and pungent soured, tart full guava notes with a dash of papaya and some citrus fruit sourness, but this really is about two things - guava and lactose, period. Aftertaste shows a pretty nice balance of the two with a lot of wheat and oaty notes for support and some bready qualities towards the end, but the rich fruits coupled with the strong sugars make this nice and pungent and pretty un-beer-like. Overall, a very rich and pungent, super fruity beer with a lot of nice qualities, a great papaya and especially guava finish with the sour, tart and sweet flavours of the fruit front and centre and a good deal of malts here too - soured, tart and sweet still with some light alcohol noticeable makes this very nice throughout. Great to sample aside from the crazy exploding can and puffed sides of this before I was able to sample, but at least I was able to do that before it fully exploded! I sampled this sixteen ounce pint-sized can, purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 26-November-2022 for US$5,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-January-2023.
