There is something almost unsettling about a wheat beer that so prominently labels their beer as having various kinds of fruits. I guess I shouldn't be put off by it, as I have often suggested that if a brewery intends on its beer having fruit added to it, they should do it at the brewery itself. Getting your Corona and having someone stick a lime on it or getting your Blue Moon with an orange seems like an archaic way of balancing a beer properly. So, if these guys are doing it right with adding their fruits at the factory, I am all for this move.
First sip is generally pleasant. The mustiness in the aroma is not great. That said, the smoothness and overtness of the juices adds a layer that is quite enjoyable. As a result, I guess the sip is a mixed bag. The mustiness really doesn't hit the taste is much as it hits the nose. But, there's no ignoring the fact that you get a snoot full every time you go in for a drink. I don't know what the best solution to that problem is, but it has to be done at the brewery and not at my face.
Tip-in is a tiny prickle of carbonation across the mouth while the juices coalesce in the center with grains propping them up underneath. The center gets a lot more grain underneath as the guava and mango seem to overpower the pineapple for the prime ground of the center of the beer, but the musty aroma cannot be avoided while gulping and detracts from the experience. The finish turns to fruit rinds and peels with the occasional seed as the pulp rises back up for the trail off.
Bottom Line: An interesting enough beer that I probably won't be buying again.
2.0/5
