Canned 8/20/26, drunk 9/13/26.
Bright, real fruit with a good mix of juiciness and acidity. Doesn't say lactose and I don't smell it. Lactic acid is low, as well, leaving the fruit to acidify it. Smells appropriately sweet, but certainly not a cheap, sugary rendition.
And indeed, it's actually very, very dry in the mouth but instead of running in to the problems created by that (too much acid and a seltzery, tannic texture), the wheat is gigantic here, creating both a nutty, creamy dullness to soak up the acid, while adding a chewiness of texture to balance the extreme dryness. Fruits feel authentic and there's a healthy acidity without it being truly sour or punchy-lactic.
