(473ml can from Luc, thanks a lot!) Pours thick pulpy smoothie-like medium orange with lots of mango/passionfruit puree and some passionfruit seed/pip black dots floating in it, and a huge but rapidly fading orange-white head with no lace. Aroma of potent tart juicy passionfruit with some residual mango sweetness and somewhat biting grapefruit pulp in there too, definitely a sweet/sour blend. Flavour follows though there's more punch from grapefruit pulp, lactic type tartness that could easily come from fruit, mango flesh in there for balance, the lactose and vanilla is quite soft, finish is much more grapefruit-inflected with a certain zest and pith bitterness trying to creep in. Medium-full body with very fine carbonation and no hint of ABV at all. Damn good stuff, for not-a-smoothie this is basically a smoothie with the hops lagely buried in the fruit combination as you'd expect...likely a lot of complementary notes. Definitely want more of this series now!
