Together with yerba mate, chili and array of grains comes an IPA, sorry XPA, loaded with fruit juices. It comes in a 440ml can and upon pouring creates a foamy head but which soon dissipates. Of course the aroma and taste is all about the fruits - tropical right up to 11 on the dial. I can't detect any chili and the yerba mate is possibly there just to provide caffeine. In with the fruit juice are Amarillo, Citra, Galaxy, Eldorado and Vic Secret hops. The mouthfeel is a tad gassy but not as cloying as one might have expected from the use of fruit juice. Rad just about falls on the side of being a beer rather than a fruit juice, but in a crowded field of this style, it's not really that rad.
