Can. Hazy carrot colour beer! Somewhat lumpy paler carrot head. Great dollops of mashed carrot cling to the side of the glass Fluffy airy palate with random chewy bits, almost as light as cotton candy. Good fine minerally carbonation. Abundant carrot and carrot sweetness nicely offset by pretty tart mandarin, I suspect added juice de limon. There is a mild Gose savoury vibe but, it's a little lost amid everything else. Airy lumpy finish. Some raw carrot burps! Entertainingly left field and, in this somewhat fringe category of beers with carrots, the best I can recall!
