OMG WHAT is this???
Yes, had to read the fine print - it is a “fruit and field beer” which might give you a hint that there is more than just a beer going on here. Has quite a lot of tropical fruits added to the brew.
But still, the juiciness and the fruitiness is just outstanding, very sweet and very fruity. It tastes rather like a fruit juice than a real beer! Amazing, I have to say this is the best thing I have had from Borsodi so far - and unfortunately I had a fair share of it during the last 45 years…
Anyhow, you might say that this is not a real beer and you may be right - still, it is something that tastes great and feels great. It does not feel anywhere like a beer or an ale though. More like a Kool Aid?
I will rate it the way I felt about it when I drank it, glad that I tried this one!

Poured from 500mL can into a wine glass. Best by 3/10/23. This beer has orange, mango, passionfruit, and guava concentrates as ingredients -- interesting!
Appearance: nice golden-yellow hue with a light haze and a good apparent effervescence. Head is a thin finger of ivory foam -- not bad!
Smell: lightly sweet and tart, this smells very much like POG juice. I'm enticed, although it smells a lot more like juice than beer, and I'm afraid this might be as sweet as the meggy ale.
Taste: well, it tastes a lot like POG juice too, and while it's not quite as sweet as the meggy, it is darn sweet. I fancy I can actually taste some underlying beer character here, though, so that is something.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a moderate carbonation and okay smoothness.
Overall: this is sweet like its cherry sister, too sweet for my taste. It's not very beery, if that's what you're after, but if you like slightly boozy fruit juice then this might be the drink for you.
