Juice Jr.

Juice Jr. goes down like someone liquified white grapefruit and a hint of stone fruit, then made it impossibly smooth. There's barely any alcohol heat—it's almost insidious in how easy it is. The haze is fine and cloudless-looking, not chunky, and it finishes clean without any sticky residue. Great Notion nailed the 'you could drink this at 2pm on a Thursday' assignment here.

Pretty Mess

Pretty Mess has noticeably more presence in your mouth—thicker, a bit more assertive with tropical notes that lean mango and passionfruit rather than citrus. That extra ABV shows up as a subtle warmth and a slightly fuller mouthfeel; it reads more like an actual beer and less like flavored seltzer. The bitterness is muted but you can feel it's *there*, anchoring things instead of just being background noise.
