Styrian hop forward with a mix of tropical fruity and herbal hoppy notes, some mango and pineapple, with some herbal elderflower and grassy weed notes, straw, grass, sweet malty support, more green grassy herbal hoppy action into the finish. Interesting.

APPEARANCE: bright pineapple juice color, quickly dissipating head in thin layer of off white bubbles in the middle of the glass

AROMA: not punchy on the nose in terms of fruitiness; cream candy, tropical fruits notes - lychee, half ripe mango, apricot, smooth fruit sweetness, sweet oatmeal and bread as it warms up, a touch of citrus fruits (lime, lemon) on the edges, hints of dankness - weed, herbal tea, subtle hints of garlic and sweet onions, no sign of alcohol

TASTE: smooth carbonation, quite creamy and oily mouthfeel, a bit butter like sickness, medium light to medium body; light sweet onset of fruity hops backed by noticeable bready and crusty malt backbone, more noticeable stone fruits than tropical; decent bitter bite at the back end mainly with smooth herbal character (impressions of wormwood), earth, grass and pine, notes of grapefruit peel, very low hints of citrus, hints of soap, no hop burn

OVERALL: typical Lobik drinkability with no sign of alcohol at all; firm herbal bite from modern Styrian hops but slightly restrained on fruitiness
