Keg at Six Degrees North, Edinburgh. It pours crazy cloudy straight up mango juice orange with minimal head. The aroma is rich, oily, crazy juicy, tangy, mango juice, passion fruit, tropical fun times, five alive, apricot and persimmon. The taste is slick, oily, tangy, tart, bright sherbet, crazy amounts of mango, passion fruit, nectarine, apricot, tangy fruit juice, sour candy and ripe fruits with a tangy mango finish. Medium+ body, fine carbonation and slick mouth - feel. Crazy fruity. Immense stuff.

On keg at Brewdog Lothian Rd, Edinburgh. Appearance - deep orange much like the mango one. Again no head. Nose - mango and guava. Getting more guava than the expected passionfruit. Taste - yep passionfruit this time plus apricots. The sour has come through much more this time. Very refreshing. Palate - medium bodied with a long tangy middle and end. Alcohol well held. Refreshing considering the ABV. Overall - well nailed sour.
