Pours a murky orange with fine, soft head.

Smell is juicy and fruity with a hint of sweetness. Notes of mango, pineapple and some spiciness. Hints of applesauce, making me think this may be oxidized.

Taste is fruity and juicy, with notes of mango, pineapple and applesauce. Quite tangy and heavy with a strong bitterness. Doesn't quite gel with other reviews I've read, so I think my can was in a bit of a bad way. Nowhere near undrinkable, but not quite right.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft and well carbonated.

Overall, I hope to get another can of this, because something was off in this one, I believe.
