Can. Cloudy orange juice in colour. Thin wispy head.
Mixed tropical and citrus fruits aroma. Tangerine, passion fruit and mango.
Gentle sweet taste reflecting the smell. Distant light caramel malt discerned.
Soft carbonation and smoothie feel.
Quite tasty but I would prefer this to be listed with fruit and field beer.

Pours a hazy, bright orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and vibrant tropical fruit, with passion fruit standing out particularly and notes of mango and pineapple as well. Taste is a great balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy hops, as well as distinct tropical notes from the added juice, with strong notes of passion fruit and lighter mango and pineapple. Finishes with a light sweetness and acidity, as well as some passion fruit and mango lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a light/medium body and medium carbonation.

While it's a little light-bodied, this makes for a very easy-drinking and refreshing summer beer with a great balance of sweet and slightly acidic tropical fruit notes that stand out quite vibrant and expressive here, feeling very natural. Perhaps too juicy for some, seeming almost more like actual fruit juice than beer, but very enjoyable for what it is, which kinda reminds me of a Radler.
