My rating: 4
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.16
My ratebeer.com rating: 4.1

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 28th March 2023. Poured into a winebar glass.
Appearance: A golden orange colour with a one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly to a ring around the glass while leaving only sparse lacing.
Aroma: Sweet, dessert, passion fruit, with light notes of banana and vanilla.
Taste: Sweet, sour, jammy, passion fruit, banana, vanilla, with hints of cream soda.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with soft to moderate carbonation.
Overall: I wasn’t entirely sold on the aroma, but the flavours does work well for me, and it drink so easy that you don’t feel it’s 9% abv at all.

My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.97
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.8

Intro: A 330ml can, with a best before date of 24th November 2022. Poured into a winebar glass.
Appearance: A nice looking beetroot purple with a one finger pinkish purple head that had decent retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Cream soda, mixed forest berries, sweet canned pineapple, cream, vanilla.
Taste: Moderately sweet, cream soda, tart, pineapple, blueberry, cream, vanilla.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: It was interesting. It had good aroma and there was some similarities to the Bianca Blackberry Blueberry Marshmallow which was insanely good to me, but here I think the tartness of the pineapple just didn’t work as well with the other milkshake like qualities, and just didn’t make it as enjoyable to drink.

My rating: 4
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.17
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.9

Intro: A 1 pint can, canned on 13th October 2020, ‘dazed & confused’. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.

Aroma: Sweet, candied, raspberry, mixed berries.
Taste: Slightly tart, sweet, jammy, candied, raspberry, mixed berries.

Overall: Aroma and flavours were nice with lots of raspberry, but it was just a bit too sweet for me. Would have preferred more sour and tartness to balance out the sweetness.
