From an undated can sampled on March 25, 2022.
The appearance has this sort of pulpy. cloudy looking amber-yellow with a lacing-leaving white head.
The aroma is strong on the kiwi as promised with a bread and biscuit base. Other tropical characters,
Light, pulpy mouthfeel.
The taste is sweet and fruity with of course an emphasis on the kiwi and a mild to moderate fruity bitterness to finish it off. Clean though.

Milkshake appearance of light gold-white. Slowly receding three-finger head. Good lacing.
Bubble gum fruitiness to start followed by some weedy hop essence.
The flavor is far harsher than the smell—a heavily hoppy beer. Full bodied with a higher than average carbonation level. The malt is nearly imperceptible—I get a light pineapple. There is a bit of weedy flavor but the hop is mostly straight up bitter. Long aftertaste naturally.

L - just barely opaque enough to consider "hazy". Mostly yellow with a greenish hue.
S - big grainy melon aroma. Crisp lemon and pine. Tangerine and, yes, kiwi. Fresh.
T - more of the same; heavy on the pithy lemony character with notes of dry kiwi and citrus peel. Herbal grassiness makes a back-half appearance.
F - velvety soft. Tastes like it should have more of a hollow carbonation, but this is solid and meaty.
O - the kiwi is a unique touch, but the end result is a touch on the malty side with loads of grainy tang. Surprisingly bitter and hop-laden, it certainly packs a punch. Like I just got shot in the chest with a kiwi... out of a cannon.
