Get ready for a sun-drenched escape in a can with Great Notion's Samson's Tropical Vacation Sour! This delightful tart ale, brewed in collaboration with Bottlecraft in San Diego, is a tribute to Samson, their beloved shop dog, and a testament to truly fun, fruit-forward brewing.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Pours a hazy, inviting golden-yellow, hinting at the tropical paradise within, topped with a delicate white foam.
- Aroma: A vibrant explosion of juicy pineapple and zesty lime greets the nose first, immediately transporting you to a beachside cabana. A subtle, creamy hint of coconut and a whisper of sweet vanilla round out the aromatic profile, promising a decadent experience.
- Palate: The first sip is a wonderfully balanced interplay of tartness and tropical sweetness. The pineapple and lime provide a bright, mouth-puckering acidity that is quickly mellowed by the smooth, creamy notes of coconut and a touch of vanilla. It's like sipping on a perfectly blended tropical cocktail – sweet, tangy, and incredibly refreshing. The fruit flavors are genuine and pronounced, without being artificial or overwhelming.
- Finish: Clean and lingering, with a delightful tropical fruit aftertaste that invites another sip. The sourness fades gently, leaving behind a pleasant creaminess from the coconut and vanilla. The 7.5% ABV is incredibly well-hidden, making this a dangerously drinkable and utterly enjoyable vacation in liquid form.
Samson's Tropical Vacation is a triumph of a fruited sour, delivering on its promise of a truly tropical escape. It's juicy, tart, sweet, and perfectly balanced, making it an ideal choice for a hot day, a virtual getaway, or simply when you crave a burst of sunshine in your glass. Surf's up!

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
