11/II/26 - 44cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: III/2026, lot 252011 (2026-174)
Cloudy murky beige blond beer, big creamy pillowy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, lots of tropical fruits, juicy, ripe oranges, orange peel, pretty floral, papaya and mango. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet sugary start, some alcohol, very fruity, lots of guava, mango, papaya, some canned peaches, bitter touch, a little dank, pleasant! Aftertaste: gentle bitterness, tropical fruits, some oranges, orange peel a little dank still, floral notes, somewhat soapy, pretty sweet finish, tropical fruits, lovely!

(Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm, 19 Aug 2025) Cloudy golden colour with rocky, off-white head. Fruity nose with orange, mango and passionfruit. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, orange, lemon, grapefruit, passionfruit, white bread and a mild citric/herbal bitterness. Almost full body, with a touch of sweetness. Smooth, juicy, dry-hopped. Very nice.

On tap in Zil Verne, Bratislava on 20th September 2025. Murky dull orange, white wisp on top. Fruity, boozy and re brewed apparently. Heavy going actually, but worth the effort.

Can from Hopt. Aroma is fruity hops, juicy tropical fruits, citrus, oats, mango, pineapple, orange, more juicy fruits, hint of pine. Flavour is light sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. Ticks the right boxes for a juicy IIPA, lots of tropical fruits and citrus with oats. Good!
