Intro: A 1 pint can, with no clear canned on or best before date. Poured into a Holy Mountain tulip glass.
Appearance: A hazy straw yellow colour with a big three finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly and left only sparse lacing.
Aroma: Tart, grapefruit, mango, guava and peach gummy rings.
Taste: Sour, tart, grapefruit, mango, pineapple, guava, tangy, lemon zest.
Mouthfeel: Zingy, light to medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: A very nice HV interpretation of All Together. Due to its tart sourness, it is very different to all the others that I’ve tried. But at the same time it also worked out very well as the tart and fruity notes were full of citrus and tropical fruits. Just really easy and enjoyable to drink.
