Fairly hazy orange and deep golden coloured body with a thick, pretty quick-dying off-white head that starts around three centimetres in height. Aroma of strong fruits with some banana, mangoes and a light hit of guava/papaya without any tart passionfruit notes noticeable at all. Medium-bodied; Fairly chewy and wheatie mouthful at first that provides ample support to the strong fruit notes, especially the richer ones like the bananas and the mangoes, with some noticeable residual sugars on the finish, but not really the hint of any alcohol here. Aftertaste shows a nice balance between the wheat, the slightly tart and acidic notes and the purely sweet notes, with the last of those two purely derived from the additional fruits here, but nice throughout and flavourful, while being quite light in alcohol there is a lot of richness here. Overall, a pretty nice beer and worthwhile to find if you like mangoes and bananas, as these show strongly here without much alcohol. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Gettysburg Beer Mart in Gettysburg, Virginia on 12-May-2021 for US$4,19 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-April-2022.

Can thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - hazy to cloudy yellow to brown. Creamy white head. Nose - light banana, herb, orange and floral honey. Taste - rich honey with an edge of dark fruit and herb. Palate - medium bodied, tangy middle and fairly sweet finish. Overall - too sweet for the style bit still pleasant.
