440ml can. Murky yellow, no head. (But with foam somehow generating "inside"; reminds me of a polyurethane foam experiment at school; not as explosive, but likewise enduring). Tropical fruity and slightly tangy aroma, minimally grainy background, notes of physalis, unripe physalis, berries, unripe berries, some banana, cereals, minimally alcoholic overtones. Taste is mildly tart, tropical fruity, minimally lactic, notes of physalis, berries, some fruit acid, banana, sweet-ish, oaty, wheaty, minimally grainy basis, cereals.
Mushy texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate; no real carbonation: this is all foam in itself.
Very tasty, as smoothie as can be (and as far away from a common understanding of the term "beer") - killer stuff!

Felt as I was drinking this it tasted exactly like Mana, and I see now I'm rating it that it literally is Mana but upscaled to a higher ABV. Copy pasting my original review then:
440ml can. Absurdly thick opaque yellow custard-like pour. Aroma of mango and pineapple. Taste of mango and pineapple, I suspect there's other tropical fruits in there too, although sweet it does actually have sourness to it as well. Super thick and fluffy mouthfeel. It never even settled. An outstanding non-beer.

The only difference is that higher ABV has made it slightly less drinkable than the original (booze isn't too strong but definitely noticeable now), so a slightly lower score as a result.

And yes, absolutely not beer in the slightest, but it is delicious.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenny, 13/05/2025.
Pours like gloopy custard with no head.
Nose is guava, mango pulp, mixed tropicana, lactic tang.
Taste comprises mango flesh, coconut shavings, papaya, sweet tropical fruits, modest acidity.
Medium bodied, thick viscous and pudding like closing with a modest puckering edge.
Fun sour if a little awkward looking and hard work dispensing ... lacks drinkability all told.

Can. Christonabike! Without doubt this is the thickest brew I have ever poured. Emerges hesitantly from the can and in thick gloopy lumps. Presents as an utterly opaque orange tinted custard colour beer, no head. Ugly looking legs on the side of the glass. The palate is surprisingly light given the appearance but also, unsurprisingly, mildly viscous. Decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malt base, a good creamy sweetness. Tangy to slightly sour passion fruit and mango. Fair dose of vanilla cream brings the balance under some semblance of control. All said and done, there is a sourish fruity finish with a mild acidic nibble. This beer is off its tits! Amusing for sure, would not want half a pint.
