Draught at EBF, 2/5/16.
A very bright golden-yellow body shows moderate to moderately-high clarity and a small white head that sits at cover.
The nose has notes of lemongrass, vanilla spongecake, light minerals and of course, lychee. It’s not intensely sweet, and seems very authentic from the nose, with light notes of citrus gracing the edges and no alcohol or flaw.
The flavor is just pure, unadulterated lychee goodness. Not fake and very nicely done, with no heavy sweetness nor any problems. Good tartness on the finish with melon flesh and light lemon flavors as well. Had I not had the De Garde Apricot Gose earlier in the day, this may have impressed me more, but that beer sets a VERY high standard for fruit beers...As well, this one could use a bit more wheat/berliner character, but is very nicely done, nonetheless. Great carbonation/condition and a soft-to-biscuity texture.
