Cloudy golden,orange appearance.
Carbonation is just below average as is the same for the body.
Aroma is a nice intense hit of mixed fruit and juices. Just a little cereal in the background.
Taste is very similar to aroma,very fruity,not heavy on the actual beer.
Overall it was really refreshing and totally delivered what was promised

Can pour into a pint glass.
Pale yellow/straw appearance with a very sparse fizzy quickly receding head and no lacing. Apple, grape, passion fruit notes. Tart and sweet balance. Light body and very light carbonation. Refreshing but not great.

12 FL. OZ can
Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours a brilliant golden hue. It is topped with an inch of eggshell head that leaves spotty lacing.
The orange is about all I smell. Light fruity aroma.
Light orange flavor. Hints of the tropical fruits. Barely tart
Light bodied with a slightly dry mouthfeel
Light, easy drinker for summer

Appearance: Clear pale gold, no lacing or foam - it all died back pretty quickly
Smell: Lots of tropical fruit. Definite passion fruit and orange. Not sure if I'm getting the guava or not - it's not a fruit smell I'm as familiar with.
Taste: Not that sour at all. Nicely fruity and a bit juice like. Orange and passion fruit are notable. Some tartness for balance, but it's quite balanced and not overpowering. No real hop flavors that I can pick up, and I can't pick up any malt flavor either.
Mouthfeel: A bit fizzy, a little sticky on the teeth, good thickness.
Overall / Drinkability: I am not getting a beer in all of this. I'm definitely tasting the fruit, and some tartness, but that's about it. I hesitate to call this a beer, it's more like a well made malt beverage, and maybe that's the point? Easy to drink, tasty enough, but not sure I would want another.

Slightly hazy gold, with moderate, quickly-dissipating white head.
Mostly smells of lemon/lime soda, with slight aromas of guava and passion fruit.
Taste is orange soda, but fresher, a bit of the lemon/lime in the aroma, but sweeter & fresher, and a vague tropical mix, that I assume comes from the passion fruit & guava. Very light bitterness at, & after finish.
Feel is light, but not watery, with moderate, fine, semi-soft carbonation.
Oooo! This is good. Nicely-balanced . Unlike a lot of these types, they didn't go overboard with the exotics. It uses a base of orange, & the lemon, passion fruit, & guava are modifiers . Well-done! I can see having this on a regular basis this summer. I hope it remains available.
