1 pint can from Mikkeller Beer Club, canned 7/7/17.
Dark golden, medium hazy body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of citrus, pineapple, guava, some pine, some vanilla, some biscuit.
Tastes similar, but quite light.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes moderate bitter, piney, citric, a bit sweet, with slight vanilla again.

Good, while not too special. I really like the aroma profile, with crisp citric fruits and a very smooth sweet body. The problem is, that it's too light. Still really fresh and clean to drink.

473ml can from Mikkeller Beer Club. Pours golden with a thick foamy head. Aroma of grassy hops, pine and sweetish caramely notes. Taste is sweet, grainy and citrusy with some grass, pine and caramel. Finish is sweet and grassy with some hay, citrus and pine. A bit one dimensional and too sweet.

Draft. A hazy yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, spices, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, spices, citrus fruits, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. Nothing special on my tastebuds.

Can cheers to Rich; slightly hazed burnished amber pour with a big bubbly off white head, aroma has sweet caramel and some hints of fruit, taste has much the same as the aroma, but with some slight bitterness.

473ml can [part of Claudius’ Copenhagen import - thanks again!]. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney and lightly citrusy, hoppy aroma, lots of coniferous flavours, some zesty lemon. Taste is dry, piney hoppy, slightly citrusy, some lemon zest, pale malty basis with minimal residual sweetness. Condensed, focused, cleaned up to monotony.

Can 33cl on train to LIBF, thanks Bjorn&Sanne. Dorée, col fin blanc. Arôme au bouquet clairement axé sur le houblon C, effluves de pamplemousse,a grumes et ponctuée par un malté pâle assez léger. Palais est léger, huileux et c-hops, retrouve encore le pamplemousse, effet herbacé perdure, le tout offrant une amertume plaisante et un fini sec qui est accompagné par un malt pâle voire pils qui balance le tout. Correcte sans pour cela trouver le point fort de cette cannette marquée de l’empreinte Cascade et ce malgré la fraicheur de fabrication.
