I've complained about it before, but I'm not sure what causes a brewery to decide whether or not they're going to put the 5.8% ABV on the side of the can. Instead, I had to go look it up. Why are you making me do homework? Either way, the interesting design on the can is a bunch of strange, relatively ugly ties that all follow the same theme of some kind of superhero comic where someone has the ability to slap other people really hard. I think that's pretty much every superhero.
First sip isn't nearly as juicy as I anticipated, and it brings dankness instead. The aroma gave no indication that this was going to be a dank beer, and I didn't bother to read the side of the can that actually says that it has a dank flavor. It's not that it's entirely lacking in juice, but the fruit aroma really got me in mind of a beer that I was going to be imbibing, and the actual experience is dramatically different. Because it's of juiciness, the dank doesn't seem to cause a massive amount of dryness, so the overall sip is pretty decent.
Tip-in is mild carbonation tingle with orange, papaya, and grapefruit meat right off the bat. The middle upticks in carbonation a bit while the fruit becomes a lot more muted and seems like the background to a very, very gentle malt. The dank hasn't entered into this, so the middle is like a decrescendo after the tip in. The finish is where the dank suddenly appears, and it does seem to bring dryness sufficient to tamp down the juiciness of the beverage so far.
Bottom Line: The dank prevents it from becoming run-of-the-mill, but it doesn't necessarily improve it.
2.5/5
