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.

Pours clear yellow into a willi. White head with good retention turns soapy as it recedes to skim surface. Grass, biscuit and pine aromas. Crisp with sweet caramel, hay and biscuit upfront turning to lemon joy before dry earth in the medium length finish.
