Canta Lupulus

750ml bottle courtesy of Beermoth Scott. Cheers! Murky, pale apple juice colour. Opened this yesterday and it had a huge, frothy white head, and loads of carbonation. Finishing it a day later, and the head, and some of the carbonation isn’t present. And I think it’s better for it. Aroma is quite unusual. Fair bit of melon. Maybe banana skin. Light, Simcoe skunk in the background. Some kind of vanilla ice cream sweetness, too. Taste sets off dry. A little sweetness on the lips. Then a zesty bitterness digs in. Really light, airy palate. Well carbonated (still). Very easy drinking. Finishes dry, then gentle, lasting bitter. Really enjoyed this. Good stuff.

Bottle shared thanks to Deanso. Pours white almost milky tea like brown with no head. Aroma of melon, tropical fruit, citrus, light grassy hops. Flavour is light sweet and moderate bitter. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

25cl bottle from ABCBeers. Very gassy white head. Cloudy blond pour. Lovely hoppy taste with a noticeable taste of melon. Well done.

Bottle @ Van Moll Brewpub. Hazy murky yellow color, small white head. Aroma is nicely hoppy with indeed -and I’m quite surprised they actually succeeded- (cantaloupe) melon. A hint of sweetness as well. Taste lightly wheat, again nicely hoppy, lightly bitter and again (cantaloupe) melon. Well brewed! Decent body and medium carbonation. Nice and refreshing.
