500ml bottle, clear golden pour, small white head. Incredible tropical fruit aroma, loads of mango, and pineapple with some tangerine. mouth feel is a tad thin, and the carb is almost flat. The finish is more mango, with some pineapple in the finish. Medium to high bitterness, with some citrus pith. The alcohol is nowhere to be found, this drinks like a 5% beer. The end is vinous, with a hit of acidic fruitiness. The sweetness is dominant throughout, but not over powering, and adds to the complexity. Very impressive beer.

Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to Ratebeer for again knocking out the search function on Android and forcing me back to paper and pen! Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, soft and smooth, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, light creamy sweetness. Lightly bitterish pine and floralness. Sweet floral grape and a touch of white wine. Little spicy bitterness on the backend. Highly unusual and pretty drinkable.

Bottle at L6, thanks to Ken. It pours cloudy golden with a medium, foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, oily, sugary, loads of cake, toasty sugar, icing sugar, wood, earth and leather. The taste is dry, bitter, sweet, sticky, earthy, spice, almond biscotti, peach, nectarine, warming spice and varnish with a warming Irish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Not bad. Unique for sure.

2017 edition. Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a creamy warm cap, good retention and thick lacing. Interesting gluten-free grain smell with some fruitiness from the mango and other sweetness. Herbal hints which are found as well in the taste. Sweet, but not as much in the flavours. Well-balanced with the hops and all. Alcohol very well-hidden. Gets cloudy at last pour with particles. This is quite interesting, good and well worth trying.
