solid IPA. Not sure how it’s classified an imperial IPA (maybe i don’t quite understand the designation) - but good overall.

Interesting. High malt stout but lots of hints of pineapple, just a hint but in the nose and front. Quite nice. I thought I'd hate this.

The clear bottle suggests a low hop load, to avoid getting skunked. It’s fruit colored, of course, a bit cloudy, with some sediment in the bottom you may want to swirl up before opening. The smell is mostly fruity, with a pinch of bread dough from the yeast and spice. The taste is indeed fruity, perhaps starting out a bit like cantaloupe, but also dry and tart. Perhaps there’s a touch of salt in it too. It wraps up with a bit of a minty aftertaste. This does qualify as a sort of novelty fruit beer, but it has character, unlike any number of megabrewed Shandies or fruit-flavored hard sodas. The Paletas line is all 3.5% abv, but it may have more unfermented fruit sugars to help make it filling.

Pretty peach colored beer in a clear bottle. When poured, chunks of something come off the bottom of the bottle. First taste impression is lots of co2 cutting the tongue. Taste is rather watered down but there is this sense of prickly pear in there, yes, a little like prickly pear ice cream without the sugar. I was hoping this wasn’t a sugar bomb and its not, pleasantly surprised. Acgually quite refreshung, I can appreciate this brew. I’ll have to try some of their other paletas as well. I guess the english translation is lollipop but this is not a sugary lollipop at all. Yes, much better than anticipated.
