A 330ml can with a best before date of xx October 2017 (xx was rubbed off). Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.

Appearance: A hazy straw yellow colour with a one finger white head that dissipated to nothing almost immediately and no lacing.

Aroma: Mango, orange, mandarin with a dash of lemon, lightly tart, but not getting much ginger.

Taste: Sour unripe mango, ginger ale, orange, lemon and wheatiness on the back end.

Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate to high carbonation.

Overall: Was not great with my first sip, but I must say that it grew on me and got somewhat better. I think it was the ginger that threw me off at first.

Funny beer to try. Or is it really a beer? Not that tart for a Berliner Weisse. The hop is missing in here but the beverage stays fruity all along mostly due to the addition of mandarin and mango. The ginger added is there all along and brings a nice bite in the taste. It drinks like fanta and taste like fanta. Just the wheat grain in the background reminding you that, yes, it's a beer.
I'll try to eat Amanda out next time.

Hazy bright straw yellow color with just a bit of white foam that fizzes away completely. Aroma really has mango with a dash of ginger. Taste is tart with orange flavor, also some unripe mango, some wheat on the finish. Light body, quite low carbonation. Overall it's quite nice, tasty berliner.

Pours a hazy golden color with a substantial head which dissipates rather quickly.

Nose is delightfully sweet. Full of sweet mandarin deliciousness. Smell reminds me of a radler.

This has a quite unique taste. There is quite a bit of sweetness and fruitiness, but alongside the fruitiness there is also a tingling sour sensation. This is not necessarily a complex beer, but it's quite multifaceted.

I say try it out, and I would love sessioning this on a warm summer day.
