Compact, jagged, white and persistent foam. Golden with green "vibrations".
Intense nose, bursting, almost aggressive, with a clear ripe fruity peach, white walnut, gooseberry and lychee almost to cover a delicate spiciness. In the mouth the taste is refreshing thanks to the light body and the absence of residual sugars. Dry, sharp and prolonged finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy, earthy straw with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a combination of citrus and Belgian yeast with a good amount of flora supporting and a bit of sweet grain underlying. Flavor starts with a combination of grass, Belgian yeast and grains but has a growing citrus note through the finish.

Tap at Bir & Fud, Rome. Pours cloudy amber orange with a lasting bubbly off-white head. Aroma of citrus, lemon zest, hop, malt, yeast, passion fruit and light sweet caramel. Medium sweetness which developed, contrasting quite a heavy zesty bitterness and borderline sour. Medium body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Finishes quite dry and bitter.

On tap at Vrteška 2017, Belgrade. Shared with Višnja 666. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Moderate to heavily hopped or is it spices, citrus; lemon; zest. Good balance, very aromatic with floral esters. Medium body, moderate carbonation, really nice fruity finish. I like it just the way it is.

On tap at Vrteška. Tropical aroma, creamy, somewhat citrusy, a bit grainy. Tropical, light taste, fresh, lime, creamy, nice citric touches, light Belgian yeast touches I reckon. This is a very, VERY tasty beer, aromatic, well balanced and drinkable. Wow!

Tap at L’Express De Lyon, 26th April 17. Pours straw colour, slight haze. Aroma is bitter hop, some citrus. Taste is bitter, oily hop, citrus, clean refreshing with a bitter linger. This is as I hoped a little like the De Ranke style of Belgian Ale.

Aroma’s pretty good with fresh hops and caramel malt. Flavor’s a bit off with the loss of hop flavor being more bitter than sweet. Good body and a long bitter finish.
