Super dense and hazy, chunky pink, bronze and deep orange coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall tan head that fades fast and leaves a strong, nasty lace/sediment on the sides. Aroma of super strong guava, strawberry, lactose, vanilla, creamy sweet, sour and slightly funky notes, but this smells more of juice than a beer, clearly. Medium to almost Full-bodied; Very strong fruit juice flavours dominate with strawberries, tart citrus fruit, a great deal of guava, papaya and melons with some ever so slight flavours of hop bitterness at the end, but very well hidden. Aftertaste is rich, super fruity, dense with a lot of malts and creaminess, but the balance of lactose and fruits outweigh everything else, especially the hops, which barely make a dent. Overall, a strong and deep beer that is very rich, mostly from fruit and lactose with a slight tartness and a hint of bitterness at the end, but let's be honest and call this a fruit beer and not any sort of IPA and it's nice! The tropical notes are nice, but my kids like the name and front of the can even more! Nice to try from Florida! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits (Store #004) in Orlando/Lake Buena Vista, Florida on 01-January-2021 for US$5,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-February-2021.

Oddball all the way, with a discordant group of fruits piled upon strong vanilla tones clashing mightily with the sharp sour citrus. Finishes with a weird orange-juice-and-toothpaste bitterness. Rough goings here.

Actually pretty tasty, just underwhelms everywhere else. Strong notes of rich caramel, toasted pumpernickel, apple, and grass, with a modest bitterness on the back end and lingering roast. Nose lacks a punch, though, and the appearance and feel are unexpectedly cheap. Probably a little better than it rates.

Some saaz but not a ton. Pleasant enough but probably doesn't rank among better Czech pils. Golden pour with ok head. Finish a little cloying, could use a little more crispness. Can.
