Good point, I guess I had the idea that there would still be more of an infusion somehow - some interaction in the whole fermentation process.
But all the rest considered, what do you think? Do you know of precedents with pulpy carbonated drinks?
How was the protection from oxidation do you think? So basically: what was the surface area / volume of gas above it like?

I'm pretty curious about potentially having a refreshing drink that is carbonated but also has that kind of pulp in it like a gel (seems interesting about whether that would be wonderful or a disaster since you would lose all your carbonation super fast the moment you crack a bottle...
