16 oz can. Flavor is bread, floral, herb. Flavor starts with sweet green and transitions to mild bitter Saaz finish. Feel is light on the tongue. Effervescent and refreshing. Crispy without a doubt. Really enjoyed this for the style.

16 oz can. Aroma is tropical with some weed like characteristics. Flavor has underripe mango, sweet grapefruit with earthy Marijuana like notes. Modest bitterness in the finish. The fruit and dank flavors are balanced. Booze is only noticed when I finished the can.

Taster pour from a can at Rising Pint beer festival. It's light brown, with thin ring of off-white head with light lacing. Aroma is strong vegetal/herb and malt. Taste follows aroma with strong dank vegetal/light herb, background vague nondescript fruit and late cracker malt. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, definitely getting the dank aspect but not a lot of juice. So, just OK.

Appearance - 2 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
Ridiculously funky murky green coloured body that looks like a sour apple candy gone wrong, but in liquid form with a pretty thick, four to five centimetre tall soapy off-tan and light green coloured head on top - this is very funky looking, but odd and at least makes me laugh! Aroma of strong limes, a lot of brine and salt, some funky artificial fruit notes of apples, oranges and lemons with a dash of wheat and oats here in the nose and a good deal of additional sugars in the nose. Medium-bodied; Very strong rich lime flavour coupled with a big oat backbone and some soured and tart citrus notes with a lot of brine here as well, almost as much as a gose with a much more full maltiness and fruit quotient as well. Aftertaste is fake fruits with the limes and oranges noticeable along with a big kick of creamy lactose and vanilla with a dry finish from the malts and a soft bite of tartness at the end that sort of tempers the richness of the lactose and oats. Overall, this is a beer that just about works and can still be drunk of course, but the funky colour will immediately put a lot of people off (perhaps just me since I've never had a [real] Maragrita before), but this is a bit too artificial and lactose heavy to be great. Nice to sample regardless! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Glen Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 05-September-2022 for US$5,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-April-2023.

Can pour. It's a cloudy dark yellow-light brown with tons of sparkle, finger-plus width off-white head with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is apricot, citrus and tropical fruit with caramel malt backbone. Taste is apricot, astringent alcohol, caramel malt and milder late tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, starts off hoppy enough but soon malts and alcohol astringency dominate.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5
Can pour. It's an opaque dark yellow with no sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and decent soapy lacing. Aroma is strong candied fruit, bread, dank, smidge of alcohol. Taste is strong sweet and dank (weirdly, Charleston Chew?) with stone fruit elements and detectable alcohol. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a somewhat challenging beer. Sweet and bready. Alcohol is presence. Hard to totally love.

16 oz. can shared by tfontana, thanks Tom. Aroma is melon, pineapple, herb. Flavor has melon pulp, pineapple-ish, still a little juicy texture. No bitterness. I wish I knew how old it was? Anyhow average.

Can pour. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with light sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with excellent retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is strong overripe melon/pineapple rind, white grape and pale malt balance. Taste is strong grainy malt with nondescript fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with light lingering bitterness. Overall, a bit malty (but may be due to age) and nondescript flavor/aroma likely consistent with the exclusive hop but the hop is kind of inconspicuous one way or the other.
