(bottle - 22 oz) Cloudy pink color with a fizzy white head. Smells like kiwi-strawberry Kool Aid. Flavor is cloyingly sweet with a ton of processed kiwi and strawberry flavors. Nothing much after that. Mild alcohol burn.

It looks like some demonic juice, smells like strawberry, and tastes like strawberry and kiwi, this shouldn’t really be on a beer site, but whatever, it’s a good wind-down drink

Pure sugar but the ladies would drink them by the gallon when we were younger. Lightweight fruity status.

I don’t even think this is a beer is it? This one was very sweet and artificial. It’s more like drinking kiwi strawberry soda mixed with a little liquor.

This is the oddest tasting beverage I’ve ever had. Not disgusting, but by no means good. This is basically a malt liquor/wine cooler hybrid. It serves a purpose, just not one of mine personally.

Smells like spiked candy or fruit. Looks pink and cloudy like some pinkish witbiers I’ve head. Lots of sugary fru-fru-fruity flavors. Alky background. Best if drank straight from the bomber. A test for your tuff tummy. Immediate buzzy impact at end of bottle. Probably should not be rated as a beer.

The clerk nearly denied me this fine beverage, indicating that compared to what I normally purchase she just could not rightly sell this to me. I assured her I would not drink it all at one time (I figure this to be a drain pour, but I will continue) and that I had just place an order for some kegs, albeit not as fun as the last one (she really liked having to call the stock room for kegs of Dancing Man and Bitter Woman - while similar to my life, a different story for a later time). Not really sure if this one should be on the site, but since it is here I will try it. Light pink phlegm colored liquid with a fizzy white head. Sweet candy aromas with plenty of starburst strawberry scents. Some hints of cream and a touch of grain in the background. Sweetness takes over the mouth first from the strawberries flavoring, vanilla and kiwi, and then near the finish a slug of alcohol. The sweetness and alcohol combination do me in before I can even finish the first few ounces. I have found if you drink this fast enough you can get past the alcohol in the finish, but it still has a presence in the linger. A true drain pour. I should have not allowed the checkout lady to let me but this. The bad jelly beans have found a home in this malt liquor.
