(Draft at Billie's Bier Kafétaria, Antwerpen, 18 Sep 2025) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of orange, pineapple, herbs and white bread. Fruity taste with citrus, tropical fruit, pineapple, mango, white bread and a mild citric/herbal bitterness. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fresh, fruity and juicy. Very nice.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small and short lived white head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, a light and pleasing creamy sweetness. Light crisp cooling pine. Light bright citrus and a little lime. Just a pinch of spice. Crisp finish. Bright and hop fruity. Just right and thus, just drinkable.

Spanish NE(D)IPA hopped with oldskool Citra and New Zealand Wai-iti, released in 2011; can shared with Craftmember. Loose, open, bubbly, off-white 'head' dissolving fairly quickly and completely over a cloudy to milky beige-tinged straw-yellow beer, looking like homemade pear juice. Aroma of granadilla, carambola, dank sweatiness, green onions, guava, hard green pear, honey pomelo, wodka, apple sherbet. Juicy onset, hints of guava, pear and granadilla, sweet with medium fizz and soft, fluffy mouthfeel; doughy pale malts thoroughly soaked in tropical juicy hoppiness with citric edge, lots of pomelo, guava, starfruit and granadilla with a dash of fresh dill at its core too, only lightly bitter with a mild but not too offensive hopburn and some brief, lightly warming alcohol in the very end (which should not be noticeable at all). The combination of the last two factors creates a peppery effect, but not to the extent that it overpowers that sultry tropical fruit sweetness. Typical present-day NEIPA, sweet and juicy, a bit 'basic' but performing okay, even if this is not my preferred beer type.

Cambuur - Telstar ⚽️ziet erop, was niet heel goed. Bier is gelukkig veel beter. Fruitig, tropisch, 🧅, maar dikke prima.

Smooth, sweetish and grassy hoppy with some tropical fruits, citrus, pine, floral notes and grapefruit. Crushable.

Bright citrusy and tropical fruity goodness, some citrus peel, hop spice, oat laden sweet malty support with a balanced bitter hoppy close. Lovely.
