Poured a slightly cloudy golden orange body with no head. Slightly tropical fruit aroma but there's an off-putting funkiness that makes it an unpleasant aroma. Smooth, slightly creamy feel and has this minor sweetness but mostly it's a funky, spicy crisp hoppy beer and the finish is crisp.

Pours a slightly hazy gold, with minimal head and little retention.
Smells dank and fruity, but with something weird that I can't place. Reminds me of a salami for some reason.
Fruit definitely takes the lead. I'll take their word on Guanabana, I don't think I've ever had one, but the apricot is there. Bitterness is low, which is good because the finish is definitely tart. A little boozy as it warms.
A bit fuller of a mouthfeel than I'd like.
Probably my least favorite of the half dozen Commonwealth beers I've had. Seems a little too busy.

I wanted to like this more than I did. Just too over the top. Fruit dominates, and the ABV is too high for there to be any balance. Not terrible, just a lot going on
