0.568 l can from 'Beyond Beer', best before June 2025. Hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity and a bit dank aroma of passion fruit, mango, pineapple and light peach. Rather sweet, fairly fruity-floral, slightly dank and a bit boozy taste of pineapple, passion fruit, mango and some peach, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, slightly boozy finish. Full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty stuff, super fresh and fruity, not too sweet or boozy yet.
