12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, green apple, citrus zest, berry, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus/tropical hops, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, green apple, citrus zest, berry, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tartness and mild herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, papaya, mango, melon, green apple, citrus zest, berry, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus/tropical hops, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness balance, and zero puckering flavors after the finish, Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tartness. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is an excellent dry hopped Berliner weisse. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus/tropical hops, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the modestly acidic/drying finish. Flavorful and not watery feeling for the ABV, never overly lactic. Mosaic and Triskel hops. Great balance of Lacto and citrus/tropical hop complexity; with a nice solid pale/wheat malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Keg at Man in The Moon, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden. Aroma of grape tonic. Mid sweet with light-medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Lightly fruity and bready. Grape tonic all the way. Quality tonic, but soda-like nevertheless. Low bitterness.

Can from BD Castlegate. It pours hazy/cloudy golden with a quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, fruity, grapefruit, tangy lemonade, marmalade, fruit cordial and bread. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, touch lactic, grapefruit, lemon, pithy, zesty, lime, cloudy lemonade, decent mouth - pucker and fruit gums with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Good fruity character. A bit heavy for the style perhaps, but enjoyable nonetheless.
