No canned on date.
Hazy golden yellow pour. Some light, white head bubbles up and settled with minimal lacing around the inside of the glass.
The nose on this is loaded with aromas of guava and passionfruit. Light, tropical, with a clean, lightly tart wheat kick at the end.
The adjuncts in this sour are much more noticeable on the palate. A great kiwi tartness, with fruity undertones of melon and banana. Once that light acidity and pronounced tropical tartness fades is when that bit of banana flavor really comes through, and increasingly so as it continues to open up.
The mouthfeel on this is nice. It’s soft, yet fairly thin and with an effervescent carb that cuts through nicely. Drinks clean, finishes with a bit of lingering tartness that is very reminiscent of what you’d get from actual kiwifruit.

Light hazy gold color with white cap.
Mild aroma of ripe fruit resting on a mild grain base.
Taste is tart at first without being overly so, and that quickly mellows out. The fruit flavorings resting on the mild grain base are banana and kiwi in about equal measure and keeping a nice balance. Simple, undemanding flavors that work well together.
Light bordering on mid level texture with balancing carbonation.
I suspect, though I do not know, that this brew is Chandeleur Brewing's basic wheat ale flavored with banana and kiwi. Overall the formula works with the result being mild and refreshing.
