440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 5.7%. Opaque murky yellow to orange colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of mango and lime zest (no surprises there), hints of vanilla and chai spices. Thick mouthfeel. Extremely fruity flavour, with the same elements as the aroma. The lime notes keep the "beer" fresh and natural.
