Hazy reddish-pink pour with a medium thin pinkish-white head that burns away quickly to a film. Spotty lace. Aroma of berries, malt and slight hops. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hop, berry and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity with a citrus and berry aftertaste. Above average overall.

16 oz can from Tavour, 4/14/20. Canned 3/17/20. Conceptually this is amazing, like everyone else, I enjoyed (the first 2 minutes before it lost all the flavor) a piece of fruit stripe gum. As far as the beer equivalent goes, it's fruity, but I've had plenty fruitier in the current juice beer days in which we live. Still this is a tasty fruit juice hop brew, with mango, orange, melon, and some peach all coming through nicely. Papaya, pear, and grapefruit notes as well. Smooth and fairly sweet. Not overly sweet, but still pretty darn sweet. I may not be powerless to the juice needs, but I'm not going to pretend I'm not a fruit slave either. As the can says, Enjoy with people you trust, I'm drinking this with my 3 year old next to me, and I definitely trust her, so it is quarantine approved in my house! Happy fruiting to all! 8/4/8/4/17
