330ml bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Pours cloudy yellowish with a smooth head. Aroma of juicy fruits, tropical notes, citrus, pine and mango. Taste is smooth, juicy fruity and tropical with some grass, citrus, pine and mango. Finish is fruity and slightly juicy with some citrus, pine, mango and grapefruit. A bit harsh compared to v2, and obviously not as fresh.

Bottle at home. A bit hazy golden with white head at first. There’s also lots of thick clumps of something in the bottom bit of the bottle, I will try this later. Indeed lots of tropical fruit juice, dank citra hops, grass, light sharp fresh hops, soft dough and a touch of caramel. Well balanced and nice! With soft of the residue stuff it gets a bit less juicy and a bit more dull. No idea what’s in that, but I prefer to keep it in the bottle. Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with very light hop burn. This is really well done!

33 cl bottle @ home (brewed @ InBier). Pours a cloudy yellow golden color, Frothy white head. Aroma is juice punch indeed, tropical and citrus, zesty, yeasty. Retronasal it’s citrussy, zesty, juicy, somewhat bitter as well. Flavor is juicy sourish, light bitter. Soft carbonation. The sharpness of the hops is there. Light medium bodied. Long finish, citrus peel, moderate bitter. Probably the best Dutch NEIPA so far.

--- Beer merged from original tick of Juice Punch on 20 Jul 2017 at 07:39 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: 33cl bottle at home. Hazy golden pour with a medium-height off-white head. Notes of unripe mango, pineapple, citrus, lemon zest, orange jelly and confiated oranges. Right now it has a weird lemon zest and grass bitterness characteristical to really fresh NE IPAs (like Heady Topper, now that I think of it) - I will set a bottle aside and try it again in a few weeks, see if anything changes.
