Decent sour IPA, nice smooth tartness with a small amount of hoppiness. Very light and lingering flavor.

Medium body and moderate carbonation. Juicy, tangy and sherbety. Bright and incredibly moreish.

Sour “IPA” with lactose, thanks to sebletitje for sharing the can at tderoeck’s place. Loose, egg-white bubbles along the edge upon pouring, but disappearing quickly; cloudy straw-yellow blonde robe with slight ochre-ish hue, all milky when the sediment is added and then effectively looking like some fruit milkshake, which is not far from the intention, I suppose. Aroma of green gooseberries, stewing rhubarb, starfruit, granadilla, chalk, sourdough, cucumber, yoghurt, flour and a very funky note (stale sweat). Very fruity onset, sour in a refreshing way, gooseberry, carambola, passionfruit, light minerally accents, fluffy and ‘doughy’ malt body with very soft, creamy edges (established by the lactose and the oat flakes), penetrated by a yoghurty lactic sourness which dries the finish, where some tropical hop ‘fruitiness’ appears, reminding the drinker that this is, in its basics, still an IPA of sorts. The hop bitterness has a spicy twist to it but altogether remains soft; gypsum- and chalk-like accents linger in the tail. Interesting idea, quite distinctive and well-executed.

Can courtesy of and shared with Tderoeck @ Taquito and buffalo turds night. Dorée sur léger trouble, col blanc. Arôme finement malté sur teneur avoine, petite note aigrelette avec un rétro de mangue et un retour finement houblonné. Palais est fin malté, le tout est assez sec et finement acidulé. Retrouve un fruité léger, citronné, citron vert, effet pétillant en bouche avec une petite sensation de picotement sur le palais.

Pretty cloudy bright yellow beer, big fizzy white head, unstable, non adhesive, no lacing in the glass. Aroma: super fruity, citrus, passion fruits, pineapple, tropical fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very fruity, lots of citrus, lots of grapefruit, some passion fruits, nice acidity. Aftertaste: nice acidity, fruity, citrus, super tropical fruits, grapefruit, nice bitterness, bit resinous.
04/09/18, creamy creamy ultra smooth, juicy mid and back, can oats be fruity? Cause this is mad fruity! Some magic mixture of oats and hops trigger some passion fruit eclipse to another dimension of beer?

Can thanks to William. Pours a cloudy yellow with small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong grapefruit, pure sugar, lemon zest. Thin body, grapefruit juice, nice tartness, crushable, enjoyed this.
