Ok, so first thing is that there were no boba in this beer. Thank christ, because that would have been just about the dumbest thing imaginable. It's dull pale, with slight haze. Light tartness, hint of mango. Sort of not much here. A mellow refresher.

473ml can. Pours a clear pale gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild, sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, peach and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, peach, caramel, orange, papaya and floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and average carbonation. Very fruity. Almost drinks like an ale.

Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat malt, grapefruit, guava, pineapple, mango and floral hops in a crisp, dry, sour lacto finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing.

A clear pale copper with a white head. Sweetness over the top of some bright fruit and light citrus. Some bitterness in the finish. It’s alright but a bit too sweet (even though not sweet) but kinda flabby. Meh.

Spoiled by noticeable amounts of diacetyl more so in palate than nose.
