Deep copper and bronze coloured body with a very thick, three to four centimetre tall eggshell white head that fades quickly at first and stays at around a single centimetre after a few seconds. Aroma of tart guava and hibiscus notes with no real passionfruit scents and the aroma is slightly funky showing some odd lactobilly and almost bretty notes with a dry scent and some subtle wheat as well. Light-bodied; Strong wheat and yeast notes without much tart and floral notes and only a touch of bretty yeast notes without a cohesive flavour profile that is sort of fruity, sort of tart, sort of wheatie and very mild throughout. Aftertaste shows some tart fruit notes in the flavour with some hibiscus and guava, but again, no passionfruit and nothing of significance here. Overall, a soft and subdued tart, fruity beer with a light wheat note and little else with the wheat stronger than the fruits and the yeast stronger than anything tart here. A good idea of course, but not executed so well and way too mild and light to be considered good for a tart or a fruit beer at all, really. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 24-October-202 for US$2,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-June-2021.

tart with tropical fruit, guava and a bit of earthiness. Medium length finish. Medium body.
Pours amber with a bubbly white head. Aroma of peaches, slightly tart. Taste has lactic elements, yeasty, fruity, dragonfruit. Palate has lingering Gose, salty notes. Good.
