Keg at Fierce. It pours straight up mango juice with minimal head. The aroma is sweet, sour, tart, tangy, juicy mango, peach, mango salsa, spicy and fruit smoothie. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, crazy juicy, mango, peachy, fruity, tangy, puckering, minerals, light acidity, greenness and loads of mango salsa with a drying, spicy finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Works well. Nice level of spice vs fruit.

In keg at Brewdog Lothian Rd, Edinburgh. Appearance - orange with a hint of red in there. No head and cloudy. Nose - as it says on the tin. STring orange, possibly blood orange with sour undertones. Taste - more of the same. Palate - tangy and close to medium bodied. Tangy, persistent finish. Overall - bit of a breakfast beer.

25th Nov 2019, Shrewsbury monthly beer share in Chez Sophie. 33cl can; BB 7th Aug 2020. Brought by me via Beer52. Light golden body, mini-hazy to it's look, white head. I found this rather dry and bland with very little going on aroma or taste wise, disappointed overall.
