From a 375ml can on 2/9/2025. The original Supertrooper was one of the first Australian beers to really blow me away, and many years down the track, we now get a mandarin (and guava) version! Pours a hazy deep golden with a medium head. The nose is present and fruity with more than a hint of zesty mandarin. On the sip, it decently sweet and fruity, with the mandarin giving it distinctive tang that distinguishes from the original. Also has hints of my long time fridge filler, the Blood Orange, but with a good deal more heft. That said, it's way to smashable for a 10 per center. Has a silky, almost creamy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Maybe not quite up there with the very best big hazies being produced here now, but excellent none the less.
