16 oz. Aroma is big fruity time with lots of frootz: seedy berry big time. Pours like Hawaiian punch with no head. Sour, sour, sour! (9/10). Acidic more than my butthole but less than that also. Fruity time flavor making my O-hole pucker like sexy time pinup ladies from the 1950s. Carbonation well. Yum! Yum! Yum!

12 oz. Aroma is cucumbers, jalapenos, kiwi, light whiff of vomit. Pours hazy golden with a quickly collapsing crackly white head. No foam whatsoever after 20 seconds. Taste is highly sour (9.5/10) and acidic with flavors of jalapeno, cucumber, kiwi. Has just the faintest hint of pepper heat. I don't usually give 3.6s out to beers I really like, but the appearance really brings this one down. It's a tasty and unique beverage that I would be happy buying again, though.
