From a 375ml can 9/6/2019. I'm approaching this with some trepidation as I thought the single version of this brew was awful. Pours a thick murky light golden/straw colour with a medium head. The nose is light with a touch of fruit, spice, with a slight, odd chemical finish. Alas, taking a sip quickly brings back memories of my experience with the single version. The little sweet tropical fruit up front is smashed by a pretty unpleasant, blunt salty and spicy bitterness, making the overall drinking experience quite difficult. Full bodied with average carbonation. Perhaps a shade better than the standard version, but only a shade. Recommended if you like your beer harsh, unbalanced and salty.

Can. Pours cloudy pink. Berry nose. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel but still puckering. Strawberry and guava aplenty. Balances sweet and sour very pleasantly.
