375ml can. Murky, orange, golden colour with average, frothy, rapidly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Intense, very juicy, smoothie-like, tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of guava, passion fruit, mango, papaya. Taste is sweet, wheaty and oaty malty as well as juicy, tropical fruity hoppy, notes of guava, passion fruit, mango, papaya, minimally leafy, soapy overtones. Creamy, mushy texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft, creamy carbonation. Very intense, immensely fruity - good!

Can. Muddy orange. Pineapple and passionfruit up the wazzoo. Doesn't quite hit the mark in that the beerness is lacking.

Bottle. Ugly opaque brown with a cm of cream head. Aroma of orange and pineapple, sugar, artificial weirdness. Taste is more Splice than Frosty Fruit, with melted icecream and fruit ice. But it's not as sweet as feared and there is a neat bitter finish. Not my sort of thing but OK. Drink it in the dark though.

From a 330ml bottle on 16/7/2018 (ABV listed as 6.2% not 6%). Pours a weird murky apple juice colour with a medium head. Has a pronounced tropical nose - lots of pineapple passionfruit and mango (and I'm getting that suffering terrible congestion from a cold). It starts with lots of the aforementioned tropical fruits. The sweetness is countered by a quite firm, tart, slightly spicy bitterness. The balance is just fantastic. The texture is almost milky with moderate to average carbonation. I'm pleasantly surprised this won people's choice at 2018 GABS, given it's quite unusual and a bit challenging. But damn it's tasty stuff. A genuinely great brew.

I rated this 3.8 a few years back and wrote this - It's a freaking frosty fruit! So many childhood memories flossing back right now. But a second tasting tonight is less enjoyable. Boozy fruit is the right name. It has a strong aroma of overripe fruit. The taste is slightly cloying, with a surprisingly dry finish that tastes a bit like aspirin. My two tastings are like chalk and cheese.
