Prickly pear version in this series of overtly sweetened beers and one of very few actually green beers I tasted so far. Snow white head, colour an almost ’toxic’ looking grass green, hazy; sweet aroma with sourish notes, reminiscent of a lemon-based lemonade, which goes for the taste as well. Very odd and way too artificial.

(Draught at Little Delirium Café, Brussels, 26 Oct) Pale green colour with brief, white head. Fruity, perfumy nose with notes of lime, cactus and herbs. Fruity, wheaty taste with lime and cactus. Medium body, quite sweet, no bitterness. Sweet lime scented washing-up liquid. As a soft drink, fairly drinkable, but as a beer more questionable.

Pretty soda taste wise - probably as well production-wise - sampled draft @ Delirium - brightest imaginable TL-lamp green, ectoplasma, white head - smell like some kind of lime soda, dishwashing liquid, lime extract - basically huge sweet lime soda extract type of flavour - little else - average bodied - would pick this over Coca-Cola - it is not bad, rather enjoyable actually, this is at most an alcopop - mot even by my stretchable definitions a beer

On tap at the Rake. Had a bottle of this years ago - don’ think it has changed much. Very hazy green beer! Little white head. This beer turned heads in the Rake and 2 people asked me what it was. Ha! Light palate, a little soft with fine carbonation. Lime! Lime and minerals. It’s fairly sweet but does taste like real lime rather than something artificial chemical concoction! Finishes semi dry. I had on a warm afternoon after a swim and it hit the spot perfectly.

On draught at La Trappiste Canterbury. Cloudy muddy green colour ladting white head. Aroma of lime and frankly washing up liquid. But in a good way. Yes a tad sweet and a bit like lime cordial. But it isnt unpleasant. Bizarre. Sweet lime but you know what? I kinda like it. It put a big dumb smile on my face sat in the middle of Canterbury drinking draught Floris beers direct from Delirium cafe itself. Crazy but cold and drinkable

draft @ Delirium, Bruxelles. Une bière verte trouble donnant lieu à un col blanc épais. Arôme ne présente pas vraiment ce côté cactus que j’attendais surtout après avoir déjà gouter à ce dernier en plat cuisiné. Au contraire, il ressort de cette bière plus un aspect agrumes, citronné. En bouche, expérience similaire qui rappelle une limonade, style radler allemande, donnant de la pulpe d’agrumes avec une légère touche de houblon pour un fini mi-amer. Une effervescence haute pour une bière qui reste rafraichissante. Comme beaucoup des bières de cette série, je note toujours un côté sucré/sirop qui a tendance à coller un peu aux lèvres.
