16oz can. I'm not super familiar with mescal. This tastes like a Moscow Mule to me more or less, a little more depth. Not really getting the smoked malt at all, more pineapple and key lime than anything else, touch of lactose or graham cracker sweetness. It comes together well enough. Sweet, sugary, sour. OK.

16oz can. Really leans into the style, and that makes it OK to me. Cream cheese(!) flavoring takes center stage. Graham Cracker, Vanilla...Guava is there but lesser. The first three flavorings, though vile and artificial by any reasonable standards, take this one where it needs to go. 9% is barely discernable, other than giving it a little body, depth. Gets a little tiring after half the beer, I think this works better as a split between 2-3 people, more as a palate cleanser or flavor experience...solid beverage.

Aromas are mild sour dominating passion fruit, guava, raspberry and a hint of orange. Flavors are similar to nose with everything coming on stronger. Kind of a tart fruit punch.
gave a cheers!

16oz can. Espresso is the odd one here, not really sure that addition helps at all. Passionfruit and Guava are nice enough, but sour coffee is never that enjoyable to me. So I'd say this one is a fail, pretty much because of the espresso.

Aromas are malt and a little strawberry. Flavors are similar to nose with strawberry coming out a little more. Slightly more tart than sweet with natural strawberry flavor. Drinkable but nothing special.

Can. Pours a clear pale gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has juicy citrus with a bit of rind and touch of sweet grain underlying. Flavor has sweet and juicy citrus with a bit of grass and light sweet grain backing.

Gross over the top flavoring. Fake strawberry rarely fares well. Like a shooter. Sugary.

Can. Big cinnamon, berry tone. Decadent and over the top,.like a pastry sour should be. Graham cracker flavoring too. Vile and artificial on one level, delicious on another. Scores high for what it is.

Aromas are citrus, malt, straw and a little furniture wax. Flavors are similar to nose with old hops. Add in a little resin. Just drinkable.
gave a cheers!
