A Note on This Beer

If you’ve been on the app for a while, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered a Fruited Sour that’s reminiscent of a painkiller cocktail in all its luscious pineapple, orange and coconut tropicality. But, a Rum barrel-aged rendition that clocks in at a buzzing 9.6% ABV? 

That’s a rare find, indeed!

This scrumptious fruit bomb comes from the creative minds at Martin House, who stuffed it full of real orange, pineapple, and coconut purées. And, while they could have stopped at that level of painkiller-flavored deliciousness, they also aged it in freshly-emptied rum barrels for three months!

The barrel aging adds even more island-inspired complexity, with notes of molasses and woody vanilla punctuating each sip. If something in your fridge is missing for the coming summer months, you’re looking at. 

*The tropical sipper comes in a collectible 2-can box with custom artwork!

Holy cow. AMAZING coconut and rum flavors combine with the pineapple and citrus to make this dangerously drinkable.

Quite sour, the coconut is separate from the orange/pineapple but the flavor is great overall. Rum barrel aging smoothes the whole thing over.

Like drinking a very tropical shampoo We think it’d be better without the orange- it adds a too-vicious bite against the pineapple Disappointing at this price

Fruity, sour and the rum definitely comes through. It’s as if a Beer and a Mai Tai had a baby.

This thing slaps so hard I almost bought another pack. The art is on point, the packaging is so cool I have the box on my fridge like I’m back in college. The flavor has an awesome back end of rum behind all the tropical fruit flavor that comes across super natural like it was blended in front of you. Shockingly light for that 9.8 ABV

You could blend this with ice/ frozen pineapple chunks and drink it as a Pina colada. Serve extra cold mine got a little to sour as it warmed up.

Ordered from Tavour in a 12 ounce can, Chilled and poured into a hurricane. Look: Dark yellow, opaque and slightly cloudy. Light foamy head that dissipated quickly leaving a super light and thin ring of foam that didn’t hang very long. Smell: Citrus up front, coconut lingers and is very aromatic, pineapple and rum notes, oaky and barrel notes hanging in the background. Super floral notes from front to back. Taste: Super citrus up front with BIG coconut, followed by sour notes, rum and oaky wood notes that persist in the nose. Pineapple comes mid palate, backend notes are combined notes of rum, oak, citrus and pineapple (definitely a pain killer). The coconut lingers and lingers and lingers and…. The booze is well hidden for a 10%. There is no bitter and no hop. Flavors mellow as it warmed, and the citrus and coconut stand out more. Feel: Light, crisp and refreshing. Carbonation is medium and lingers as it warmed. Overall super interesting beer. The smell is definitely rum barrel and big coconut. The only issue with this beer is how floral the beer is because of the combination of the coconut and citrus. The beer was a soapy, which wasn’t pleasant. Cheers!

A good but not great beer. Very slight expression of the rum barrel, while the coconut comes through prominently both in aroma and taste. The other advertised flavors are blocked by the overt sourness of this beer. The tartness is a bit much for my personal taste - many American sour beers overdo the sourness as opposed to the original European masters of this style, and this beer is a good example of that tendency in my opinion.

Like being at a tropical vacation and having the house special drink at the resort. And now...Judas Priest "This. Is. The. Painkiller!" (I realize I could of gone with Rupert Holmes' "Escape (the Piña Colada song)"

Perfect tart/sour pineapple start with a hint of citrus. Then a nice wave of coconut. Only thing that kept it from being perfect was how much the coconut lingered. The finish was a bit suntan lotion. Not drastic, more subtle, but noticeable.

The rum is strong on the nose, but not entirely noticeable on the palette. Pineapple is the dominant player here with coconut. The only thing missing is an umbrella.
