Can sourced from Beerdome and shared at home (27/12/2020) - hazed golden pour with a white head. Fruity stone fruit notes of peach and nectarine, mango, some citrus edged grapefruit and lemon coming in, sweet malts, medium body, touch of nice hop spice bite into the resinous balanced bitter hoppy finish. Nice.

BB 01/10/2021, 330ml can
APPEARANCE: pineapple juice in the glass, small film of off white head
AROMA: quite bold fruitiness on the nose, tropical fruit basket for days, medium fruit sweetness and exotic aromatics, fruit candy, creamy fruit smoothie, ripe mango, lychee, papaya, impressions of mangosteen or over ripe passion fruit; smooth dankness underneath (cannabis, green notes), dried apricots, soft bready malt backbone in the background (no bread dough or yeast dirtiness), notes of sweet pine, no trace of alcohol on the nose
TASTE: smooth carbonation with creamy bubbles, medium plus body, slightly oily and silky mouthfeel; fairly juicy and fruity onset but not so bold as suggested in the aroma, mango juice, ripe tropical fruits; medium light hop bitterness of citrus zest, pine and resin, feels more than 20 IBU; moderate dry and spicy finish, no sign of 8% abv; lingering green, grassy notes, low herbal notes
OVERALL: striking on the nose, flavors follows but are not so impactful; nice bitter and spicy bite with again perfectly hidden alcohol; dangerously drinkable DNEIPA as is the case with most of Lobik haze craze high abv beers

Can, 0.33l, courtesy of AleLiquids6. Aroma of biscuit, mango, passion fruit, pineapple and citrus. Pours hazy dirty golden color with totally diminishing off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Tastes juicy tropical fruity, citrusy, resinous, bready, dank and herbal with smooth and mild spicy mouthfeel and pretty bitter finish. Medium to full body, oily texture and soft carbonation in palate. Almost burned out my taste buds...

Can. Super hazy golden orange, smaller and nonlasting white head. Milder fruity nose, sweet and citrusy notes. Moderate bitterness, pretyt dry. Lasting herbal feeling in the aftertaste. Lighter body, well hidden alcohol. A bit stronger on the taste buds, but fairly nce.
