Can. Pours almost clear pale yellow with a big head and a good retention. Aroma is citrus, cat piss, tropical fruit, pine, sweat socks. Body is medium but quite sweet, still strongly bitter, especially towards the palate. almost no fruit. Piney citric palate. Good!

Can @ Benzai is zo dood als een pier tasting - The day after. Kinda hung over. Lightly unclear yellow color, average sized white to off-white head. Aroma is very nice: hops, tropical fruit hops, mango, peach. Taste malts, hops, tropical fruit hops, fruity hop bitter. Medium body and carbonation. Nice!

Hazy yellow golden color with a fine white head. Good lacing. Looks nice and inviting. Fine pleasant aroma. Medium (+) body and an average carbonation level. Mellow sweetness and a fine bitterness. Semi dry ending. Citric, pine and fruity flavor. Nice refreshing ale.

1 pint can from Beergium, canned 4/14/17.
Golden-amber, moderaze hazy body, with a big, fluffy, lacing, white head.
Aroma of grapefruit flesh, lemon zest, pine, pineapple, passion fruit, guava, some biscuit.
Tastes crisp and fresh, with grapefruit, tropical fruits, lemon juice, tea leafs, grass, pine, some vanilla.
Medium, slick,a bit velvety mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes beautiful, smooth, dry, warm, medium bitter, piney, citric, a bit juicy and overall super-crisp.

Very tasty. Drinks surprisingly smooth for the ABV, not heavy at all, with just enough malt body. Otherwise loads of crisp, fruity hops, with a lovely, refreshing dryness towards the finish. Beautiful, balanced stuff!

Thanks Dave for the can! Poured into a snifter showing moderately filtered mango orange/yellow with very sparse foam. The nose shows light mango and bready malts. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Forward flavors of mango with moderate pine resin on the mid-palate to a light adzuki malt sweetness in combination with a mild IPA bitterness on the finish.

Keg at RB Best, 31/01/16. Golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is pine resin, grapefruit, bitter orange, citric soaked straw. Taste comprises semi dank strokes, tropical fruit medley, tarte citric sherbets, pine needle, mango. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with semi aggressive hop bitterness. Decent DIPA.
