SEP-2019. BOTTLE. Cloudy pale straw, white head. The aroma is mostly mango juice and some pineapple, just a hint of citrus - not bad, just closer to a juice rather than a beer. The taste is thankfully less fruity, making room for some white citrus pithy bitterness, that is, however, rather unagressive. That, and the low, soft carbonation, make the beer feel a bit flat and thin. Overall, a nice hazy ale, maybe a bit too mellow. 3,6/5.
AUG-2019. DRAFT at the BCBF. Cloudy pale straw, white. Very fruity aroma, dried tart apricots, almost artificially strong. The flavour has it too, along with a woody polen dusty bitterness that masks it off. Nice and fruity and chewy, but there's something bubble gummy about its flavour. 3,3/5.
