355ml can - the name sez it all, but that is indeed a pretty spiffy-looking label!
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent snow rime lace around the glass as it very, very slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of mango, passionfruit, and further domestic citrus rind, gritty and grainy cereal malt, a faint earthy yeastiness, and some very tame leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some muddled tropical fruitiness, slightly phenolic, yet still gentle yeast, and more increasingly acerbic leafy, floral, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its palate-prodding frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and sort of smooth, as that bitterness doesn't seem to know how to keeps its hands to itself here. It finishes rather dry, the fruitiness bleeding out, while hops continue to tighten their strangling grip.
Overall - yeah, this is really a two-sided beast, with the titular fruity esters definitely representing off the top, but quickly ceding the floor to one bitter bitch of an IPA. It's actually pretty good, but more in a 'glad I got to try it' sense, as opposed to the 'gimme more!' one.
