This is a thirst trap Review
When I first tried This is a thirst trap from Merakai, I was intrigued by the fruity profile they advertised. Pouring it out, I noticed a light golden color with a slightly hazy appearance, which hinted at some potential. However, the aroma was where I first encountered a letdown, as it felt muted and lacking the punch I expected from a pale ale.
The taste was a blend of mango and papaya, but it came across as overly sweet and somewhat artificial, overshadowing any hop bitterness that might balance it out. The mouthfeel was light, but it lacked the body that would make it truly refreshing. Instead, it left me wanting more complexity and depth in the flavor.
Despite being vegan and gluten-free, which are great attributes for many drinkers, I found myself disappointed by the overall execution. Merakai, established in 2020 with a focus on community and inclusivity, seems to have aimed for a thirst-quenching experience, yet this particular brew doesn’t quite hit the mark.
At 0.3% ABV, it fits comfortably within the low-alcohol category, but that also means it doesn’t deliver the satisfying punch that some might seek in a craft beer. This is a thirst trap may appeal to those looking for a light drink, but for a pale ale enthusiast, it might fall short.
