Purple, with lumps of ?ice cream fat? (I shook the can as instructed, but apparently not enough, as a lot of the pulp/cream solid were still … well, solid.) Little surface foam on pour, ice cream suds and streaks remaining, more than head or lacing. Clotted cream, fruit aroma (I’d say blackberry, but the can claims blueberry). Creamy, jammy, berry taste and after. Smoothie thick and a little lumpy - again, didn’t shake well enough.

Sparkling creamy mango-yellow - not the best looking but makes me smile. Ice cream float suds head, lasing pulpy suds and legs but no lacing as such. Mango pulp ice cream aroma. Mango Sour Ale ice cream float. Thick and creamy, with some pulpy bits. Ice cold, obviously.

Pulpy purple. Lighter purple pulp ‘head’ that doesn’t really clear. Dry fruit pulp aroma. I think all the fruits cancel each other out, just tastes ‘red’, with a similar after. Beer level is a fraction of the head, which is more of a gritty berry pulp. Too thick all round.

Opaque mango juice. Little head as poured, with only a very thin halo retention and no lacing. Pulpy fruit, some red fruit, spicy aroma, hint of ?coconut? Like a really nice, bit tropical, orange juice – ABV aside, would make a great breakfast juice. Starts to develop a chocolate note on swallow – taste and texture, like dissolving a block of Galaxy along with it. Creamy juice, tiny sharp bubbles.

Purple cream smoothie. Some head as poured, with good retention - pulp more than real head on lacing. White chocolate, raspberry aroma. Similar taste, tarter cherry berry after. White chocolate thickness.

Clumpy pink. About 80% ‘head’ at pour, pretty much all retained, with pulpy legs rather than lacing. (Make it sound SO appetising, don’t I?) Strawberry astronaut ice cream aroma. Strawberry smoothie taste, creamily similar after. Not really getting the Blackberry, unless it's a slight tartness. Thick, pulp, strawberry Krusha.

Purple, with a delayed active open – didn’t seem like it had much of a head, then the glass started overflowing… Extremely large pulpy foam head, massive retention, and pulpy traces more than lacing. Creamy, pulpy, mixed berry / red fruit aroma. Similar taste and after – a thick, pulpy, bitty berry smoothie.

Pulpy purple-red. Extremely large, thick, overflowing the glass, pulpy head as poured, very long lasting and leaving pulp marks rather than lacing on the glass. Black Forest Gateau aroma. Similar taste and after, with a hint of mint choc chip ice cream (or mint Viennetta?).

Murky red-purple. Some pinkish head as poured, little surface and OK halo retention, with semi solid lacing. Rich, pulpy, raspberry macaron aroma, hint of ?soap? under. Raspberry jam taste, bitter cocoa and coconut after.

Mango juice. Little surface head as poured, with good retention but very littlel acing. Mango juice, bit tart, aroma. Many tiny sharp bubbles. Tangy mango juice, doesn't drink like 7%. Looks like a better selection upstairs.

Pulpy orange juice. OK orange (!) head as poured, with no retention but a pulpy residue on the glass. Sherbet Dip Dabs aroma, developin a hint of Play Doh. Think, tasty fruit smoothie, not getting the cake though - unless it's in the thickness.

Hazy red. Good head as poured, with good retention and lacing. Tart, strawberry aroma with a cocoa under. Tart, strawberry, thick. Guess the thickness is from the marshmallow as I'm not getting the taste. Perhaps a hint of chocolate in after? Got home and descovered this entire volume had been soaked through by hand wipe juice (squeezed beween the pages while in my bag), but fortunately dried out readable. Had to make a few guesses here and there, but honestly no more than after a regular heavy session...

Opaque dark strawberry. Some fizz on pour, dispersing. Initial strong strawberry cheap booze (like MD 20-20 kind of thing), dryer vanilla under. Slightly fizzy, slight strawberry astronaut ice cream, developing chocolate.

Hazy red lemonade. OK head as poured, good retetnion with halo, thick lacing with some layering. Raspberry, oat, buttery pastry aroma. Raspberry pastry, delicious, but not very cranachan.

Not confident I'd recognise guava or lychee by smell, but probably what I meant.
