Hoppin Frog Smashin Berry Ale

7/26/08: Bottle.
Sickening sweet berry aroma (powdered drink mix and sugar). Pale salmon colored body. Flavors of berry, cantaloupe and wheat.

Bottle shared by shigadeyo. Poured clear reddish amber color with an average fizzy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate berry tart citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium sweet berry flavor with medium to heavy sweet finish of short duration. This beer did not meet my expectations.

Pours a clear, yellowish-straw color. A small, foamy, off-white head fades quickly to a wispy film. Wet lacing leaves little to nothing behind. Aromas include pale, sweet malts, light corn syrup, and artificial blueberry and raspberry scents. Flavors basically continue this disappointing trend, tasting more like a berry Gatorade than a beer. The medium-light body is sugary and too sweet. It almost feels like a flat soda in the mouth. Bleh.....this is not my cup of tea by any means.

Clear pale yellow water with no lasing head. Smell is insanely sweet and dense berries and candy. Weak and awful palate. Flavor is exactly like a crappy vitamin flavored berry water - not enjoyable for me at all. I prefer Lone Star to this.

Bottle from miketd in trade. Thanks!
Pours a very light yellowish, orange, clear color. Smell is light and berry candy like. Taste is mild, thin and moderately sweet and with artificial candy-like berry flavor. Thin fruit-wheat beer like character, but not sure there is any wheat in it. Very easy to drink and not offensive, but somewhat artificial and thin.
