6 week old pint can A: Poured clear gold with a tall lasting pillow of off-white foam. S: Kind of generic citrus and berry scent. Nice but nondescript. T: Heavy wood and bread hit just before tart citrus and bitter pith join in for balance. Herbal or floral hop notes toward the end. M: A bit heavy but active carbonation balances that. Sticky finish. O: Very nice after the initial malt blast, with an interesting balance of flavors and mouthfeel.

Can picked up from Weyermann Malsters, Bamberg and consumed at home Sunday 27th March 2022 sat outside in beautiful 🌞 listening to The Mysterines - Reeling. Pours hazy sunshine gold with a large head of sticky white foam. Juicy, fruity but also a little bit stilted in terms of presentation. Quite pokey, a light/moderate furry bitterness. Good but perhaps not quite as good as I'd hoped.

Can @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg. Pours slightly hazy light amber with airy but stable white head. Clear aroma of citrus, with estery and fruity notes and touches of hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour - the DDH is not to miss here -with notes of citrus and sweetish touches of fruit and lozenge, as well as estery hints. Lingering bitter aftertaste with citric and estery touches. Decent.

Light amber with a frothy, white head. Aroma of peaches, candy. Taste is bitter, chalky, dry. Lightly peppery at the end. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. More warming than refreshing, and also relatively simple in the end.

473ml can. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Rather restricted, if not expressionless, grassy, minimally piney and fruity, hoppy and minimally funky, yeasty aroma, unspecific fruitiness, pale malty background. Taste is slightly dry, fruity, piney and grassy hoppy, pale malty backbone with little residual sweetness, unspecific fruitiness with aspects of yellow stone fruit, citrus fruit, minimally funky yeasty overtones; minimally zesty, citrusy finish. Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying and greasy palate, fine and soft carbonation. Restricted, somewhat unspecific hop flavours, homogeneous up to monotony - not overly impressive.
