0.33 l can from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', canned in December 2018. Slightly hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish rather fruity, slightly grassy and a bit herbal-resiny aroma of passion fruit, green pepper, carambola and some lemon peel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity, gently grassy taste of lemon peel, green pepper, carambola and hints of passion fruit, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently grassy and a little herbal-resiny finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Highly quaffable and very refreshing IPA, pretty smooth and no hop burn whatsoever.

330 ml. can. Canned 11/12/2018. Bright citrus golden, bubbles rising, creamy white head. Nose is pleasant fruity doughy citrus, sweetish fruity hop & faint floral. Higher carbonation. Taste is litchi, white grape upfront, juicy, tropical, nice upfront finish is some harsh plaster bitterness which is not optimal. Juicy, harsh lingering finish, if only not that finish, floral, wouldn’t rush to call this an NEIPA but fair.
