0.44 l can from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', canned in February 2018. Hazy, straw yellow with a medium large, fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, intensely fruity and slightly grassy aroma of pineapple, passion fruit and some lemon. Slightly sweet, quite fruity and slightly grassy taste of pineapple, passion fruit and some lemon, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy and rather dry finish. Thin body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really good for that abv!

Can at home. Hazy golden with white head. Sweet malts, tropical fruits, massive grassiness, weed, dry and wet hops. Moderate sweet and quite bitter. Under medium body and quite some carbonation. Thin, cool watery feel, very dry grassy/hay/grainy/sandy mouthfeel. Drinks like cool water in the desert. Very nice, but with a bit more body and slightly higher abv it would be more of a ‘beer’. --- Beer merged from original tick of Small Citra Simcoe Pale on 31 Mar 2018 at 19:12 - Score: 7.

Can from the brewery. It pours cloudy golden with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, clean, green, pine needles, grassy, twist of citrus, stone fruits, mango and apricot. The taste is crisp, clean, dry, bitter, pithy, zesty citrus, green, grassy, straw, peppery spice and stone fruits with a dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Incredibly crushable. Fresh and boostable.

Can at home thanks to Colin for the order. A translucent golden orange coloured pour with a rocky off white head. Aroma is vibrant juicy five alive, guava, mango, with a pithy citrus edge. Later some wheat flour on the nose. Flavour is composed of thin mineral, wheat grains, pithy lemon, grassy citrus, chalk. Palate is a little thin and chalky, highish carbonation. Impressive flavour of the small abv. Good chugging beer.
