What the brewers say

Made with craft spirits distilled on site. Blended with real fruit juice and sparkling water.

What our panel thought

Alcohol aroma is tequila-ish and rough—surprising, considering its low strength. Lime is there, but not particularly bright. Fairly sweet up front with some lime acidity in the finish. A bit of alcohol burn. Like a carbonated margarita with cheap tequila and sour mix.

What our editors thought

Earthy nose with slightly rotten tropical fruit—definitely agave. In the sip, bold sweetness and insufficient lime. The margarita feel splits the difference between sophistication and cloying mass appeal. Low strength lends it drinkability, but sweetness endures.
