Confession: I brought a Jamba Juice to my first college party. What can I say? I wasn’t ecstatic about the lukewarm keg of macro swill they were pouring. So, I didn’t drink a single sip. 

A shocking decision for a nervous freshman to make, I know. But, I’ve always been a beer snob! How do you think I got into writing these craft beer descriptions, anyway?

Nevertheless, after a succulent sip of Braxton Labs’ Stone Fruit Smoothie Sour, I’m reminded of the craft goodness — snagged from my Dad’s beer fridge back home — that spoiled me in the first place. 

But, this smoothie-style brew isn’t a specialty beer from the 90’s. The brewers stuff it with heaps of real, drippy apricot, luscious mango, and succulent peach for layer upon layer of thick ‘n sweet stone fruit flavor. It tastes just like my go-to Jamba Juice, with a boozy bonus!

If my Dad had some of these cans, he probably would’ve padlocked his fridge just to keep me out. It’s practically impossible not to crush can after can once those soft mango and sweet peach nectar flavors touch your lips.
