Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Pours hazy yellow with an unstable, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of tangerine, guava, pineapple, mango, apricot, sorbet. Taste has sweet tangerine, guava, pineapple, sourish passionfruit & very vague unripe strawberry, some bitter mango kept together by doughy maltiness. Dryish, floral hoppy finish, a bit earthy with lots of tropical & bitter fruit, faint alcohol glow. Medium body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Bit of everything but blends well.

Can at home. Hazy yellow color, no head. Smell and taste have a slight malt note, light green plants, light hop notes, citrussy / citrus peel. Hmm I don't like this one very much. Pretty disappointing imo.

Can bought at the brewery in anticipation of lock-down. Tart but sweet edged stone fruit aroma. Hazy mango colour. The bubbly translucent white head soon pretty much disappears. Initially light bitter with underlying hints of sweetness. The bitterness then turns up a few notches. Tangy stone fruit sourness throughout. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Low key fizzy carbonation. Enjoyable stuff. There are so many different fruits in here that I suspect they cancel each other out to some extent. Will be rated higher by people who are keen on fruit juice.

440ml can. Hazy golden, head disappearing immediately. Aroma of passionfruit, peach, pineapple. Taste is very fruity, passionfruit, peach/apricot, pineapple, other tropical fruits (8 is way too many to get), a bit of citrus peel bitterness. Medium body. Very nice fruity IPA but I think half the fruits could be removed and no one would notice.
