This can has a funky, playful warning symbol that has "caution: too juicy" written on it. Should I be genuinely afraid? I've had juicy IPAs before, and I particularly like those kind of juicy beverages. It's likely this is akin to the warnings about a ride being too scary at a crappy amusement park when they should probably have a warning that the operators are either a little drunk or a little high on meth. I'm hoping no meth was involved in the production of this beverage.
The beer pours a solid gold color with a slight haze and lots of points of nucleation at the bottom, streaming bubbles to the top, but those bubbles don't stay around very long. As a result, the top is nearly naked with a few bubbles scattered around and a few cleaning to the sides. The aroma should be very juicy, and it is. Mangoes, strawberries, starfruit, oranges, grapefruit, and just about any imaginable fruit has just a little bit of influence in the giant bucket of juice that has been included in this beverage. It smells juicy. And it smells good.
First sip is all the juices, but they're not merging well. The tastes are confused, and the fruits that I tend to like the most appear to have been relegated to the back while things like starfruit and maybe nectarines have been shoved to the front with seeds and skins still attached. If the taste was more like the smell, this would have already been a hit. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The taste is just not meshing well, but maybe it's just the sip.
Tip-in is tame, dry, and chock-full of skins. The middle is a bit more harmonious with the juices melding together above a base of water. The finish is appalling with fruit pits, bitterness, and broken dreams.
Bottom Line: Not the best.
1.25/5
