Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hit. What's going on? Everyone? Welcome to the Strikeout Beer Podcast.
Your least favorite podcast were their pals on and Rapidave.
I'm Allen, I'm Mary.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
What up?

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You know what, brother, We're gonna have a little wanganitis
uncensored punch. This is tropical fruit punch. It does contain alcohol.
It's a big boy coming in nineteen point two fluid
ounces nine percent alcohol by volume. Pulled it up on
on tap. There are no words for it, but it
does say that the average score is two point nine five.

(00:34):
I'm untapped out of nine hundred and sixty ratings. This
little squid octopi guy. He likes the party.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
He's got a mohawk and everything.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well he's a pineapple. Oh that's what he is. He's
a pineapple. He's a pineapple squid.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I mean he's a pineapple colored squid. How about that.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I don't think you can say that anyways. On their website,
Lagenes dot com slash beer slash uncensed uncensored Punch, hard
tropical fruit Punch. To push the boundaries of flavor and
defy the ordinary, our brewery launched a daring mission into
the unknown to capture an untamo essence of a tropical paradise.
What they brought back something that's not just bold, it's red,

(01:13):
cosmic chaos in a can. Brace yourselves for uncensored, a
rebellious punchy hard, tropical punch that's light years ahead of
the rest.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
There we go, and I'm gonna drink this out of
my McDonald's special limited edition Garfield mug.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So red, it's so beautifully red.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's got a date on here, nineteen seventy eight. But
I don't know that that's correct because I didn't. I
feel like these came out after I was born, and
I was not born in nineteen seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I mean, Garfield's been around when, you know, been around forever.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Huh, yeah, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm gonna look up right now. I'm gonna put how
long has Garfield been around. That's probably gonna say nineteen
seventy six or something like that. Seventy eight the commistration.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Okay, yeah, So right here on the top of the can,
it says, seems like the right time to tell you
you're missing out on exactly nothing. Might as well keep
on keeping on at a lime, apologize.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Later, So at a lime to hear. I don't know
so nine percent. Like you said, beer math on ABV
is pretty straightforward. The higher the ABV, the mon alcohol
and the brew see no rocket science necessary ibuser ten.
Generally speaking, highb IBU beers will have more bitter taste
than lower ibu. Like, this is just basic stuff at

(02:37):
this point. Uh, the og on its one point zero.
We got nutritional facts there we go, three hundred and
forty calories, forty forty milligram of sodium, sixteen car three protein,
zero sugar and it's available year round. So yeah, there
you go, there you go. I don't know, I'm kind
of a.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Little You've picked it up at Specs and you send
me a pictures like, hey, if you can go by
I picked this up at Specs. If you can get it,
get it. And so I went by there today and
they had this. They had a lot of other stuff
there that I want, Like they have some sort of
like a I think it was like a barley wine
called Viking Blood, and I was like, I want that.

(03:20):
I'm not a huge barley wine fan, but you called
it Viking Blood. So I'm like, yeah, let's go right,
this is I don't I'm not picking up a fruit
punch flavor with.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
This though, what's what the aftertaste? It's weird, right, medicine.
I've had medicine way better than this, Like.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, shit, they make it now. It's delicious.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, I don't know. I expected more. Yeah, it's I'm
not picking up a fruity flavor really at all with it.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's actually messing with me. I'm sitting here like it's
like I don't know, the bubbles or something like that
is getting to.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Me, like a like a zero sugar Koolaid flavor right
where you're not getting a lot of the flavor because
there's no sugar in there and you just need that sugar.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's interesting to say the least. Like the flavor is
just crazy, Like it looks wild, right, It's bright red,
super bright red. It's got a fruity smell to it.
Smells like a fruit punch if you smell it, put
it up to your your whiffer.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, a little bit. I don't know. I'm not really
excited about this.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Like it's about half a second of fruit punch and
then like.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I'm almost through the whole can. I've got bare I
got maybe like this much left in the can.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, and slim it.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, I mean I'm drinking it. Yeah, I'm trying to
I'm trying to get something out of it, right, and
I'm not even getting like an alcohol taste with something
that's nine percent Let me taste the alcohol at least,
I'm not even picking that up right.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Maybe the alcohol is burning off the fruit. The fruit
the juicy and it's supposed to be a juicy fruit,
a tropical fruit. Punch, Okay, tropical.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
This is not juicy fruit. And it's not gonna move you.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's not moving me. I see a lime or a
lemon there? Yeah, there's a Is that a guava grapefruit?
Is that a guava fruit down there? Got an eyeball?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Maybe passion fruit?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Passion fruit? Yeah? I think it might be a passion fruit.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't know, man, I'm not I'm not digging this.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, So you out? Are you out on it? Tell
me right now?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I don't like it. I don't hate it, right, It's
not like it's like all this tastes awful. I think
it's more so got like a non taste to it,
Like like I'm drinking something and I could taste that
it's wet and that it's cold, but I'm not picking
up a lot of flavor with it, which is what
I want.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, it's like the weird It's like laying nothing's there
and then you got a weird after.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
And I'm not getting like I said, I'm not getting
a good taste. I'm not getting a bad taste. I'm
just getting m.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Let's see, I got No, it's not a date twenty five.
I don't know anyway. So yeah, maybe a thumb's down
on this one, which I don't do it very often,
but not much going on here. Probably won't buy it again.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
I won't buy it again. I'll tell you that right now.
There's no Probably it's not gonna happen there. I've had
regular tap water that had more flavor than this. How
about that?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Whoa all right?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Or just regular bottled water? This, this bottle of water
right here more flavor than this.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I was like, was it the Sanny or some deer park.
It's Walmart brand.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Of Tom Thumb signature. Select this Tom Thumb water. So
you got more flavor than a LA's uncentered punch cap
fruit punch can eat a bag of dudes. It's just

(07:11):
I expect better, right, uh A brewery like that has
a lot of really good beers. They missed the mark
on this one. How about that?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
There you go?

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Maybe maybe not try fruit punch anymore? How about that?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
There you go?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
I don't know. It's not good and not good for you.
I don't know. It's just all there was to it.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
All right, Well, thanks for watching, appreciate you guys.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Have you had this before? Are we just missing it?
Like we don't get it? Like it's and they're like, oh, bro,
you don't understand. Okay, maybe I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Big, I love Big.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
It's the part where he's in there. I don't get
it and he's like, it's a skyscraper that turns into
a robot.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Get it?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I know?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
But yeah, I don't know. Man. I'll finish drinking it
and calling the night, I mean not calling an we
gotta go. Some other stuff is gonna taste a lot
better than this. But hey, let us know if you've
had this before, and if you haven't, just stop what
you're doing and go and get it. I think it

(08:27):
was like two bucks or something like that. It wasn't
super expensive. Go go go to your local Specs or
wherever else you can get your local crap eers and
pick one of these up and have it and tell
us what you think. Maybe we just don't get it.
I don't know, we're just too old and we don't
get it. But as always I'm allan. We'll talk to
you later, deuces,
