Actinia sees massive quantities of Mango, Guava, Passion fruit and Mandarin layered onto an oat and wheat heavy malt bill that's been soured with Lactobacillus. The result is explosive fruity mayhem. Sticky tropical purees coalesce around a scintillating acidity, itself smothered in a thick, oaty mouth feel. Juicy, puckering, indulgent, this is Actinia.

Can from Drankenspeciaalzaak Jelle, Leeuwarden. Tart tropical fruit aroma with lots of juicy guava, mango, passion fruit, lactic notes, bready wheat. Tart and medium sour flavour with a hint of sweetness. Body is medium. Pleasantly sour and massively fruity, highly tropical, wheaty malt. Tasty.

Can shared in London - cheers Dave! Pours murky orange with a minimal, foamy white head. Nice fleshy apricot notes, light tartness, low acidity, mango, citrus. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Tart finish, more mango, light minerality. Decent gear.

Can split at L6, thanks to the Wingmane, 09/10/19. Murky mango smoothie orange with a well presented off white head that clears to a swirl. Nose is passionfruit, light solvents, fucked over mango, damp straw. Taste comprises pissy mango shreds, tarte tropical fruits, citric zest, lemon tinged straw, mellow acidity. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a modest pucker. Passable sour.
