Can. Clear golden pour. Aroma of orange, pineapple, citrus, papaya, bready malt and some creamy yeast. Taste has creamy orange, pineapple, bready malt, bitter papaya and soft herbal yeast notes. Quite standard, but not bad.

Bottle (0.5l from Jumbo). Pours a clear (not hazy at all) dark gold with a short-lived head. Aroma is peculiar, very herbal and spicy and also caramel malt. And something which might be licorice? Weird. Light body, feels a bit thin. Flavour is a bit watery, otherwise very malty with a bit too much sweetness and caramel malt imho. Mostly this is probably because the hops is very understated. I get almost no fresh fruity flavours here, only light floral notes and citrus marmalade in the background, mostly orange. There's a slight juicy/jammy note in the finish, but this is not really a NEIPA. Hops is way to understated and the beer is not that balanced, with more bitterness it might have made a good west coast IPA, as there is some pine and the bitterness would have nicely balanced the sweetness. Not bad but messy. Uiltje can do (and usually does) better.
