0.568 l can from 'Beyond Beer', canned in June 2024. A little hazy, golden orange with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity, slightly resiny aroma of orange, mango, spruce and passion fruit. Quite sweet, very fruity, slightly resiny taste of marmalade, mango, passion fruit, grapefruit and spruce, followed by a medium long, fairly bitter finish. Medium to full body, rather effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Lovely stuff.

12oz can achetée à Jumbo, Maastricht. BB 01/2025.
Dorée/pâle, col fin blanc-cassé bien tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet plaisant - DIPA de belle facture très américaine - petite pointe rappelant un côté peanut butter, houblonné en retrait avec des notes tropicales et agrumes.
Palais sur un léger côté booze, malté cara pâle, caramel avec ce côté DIPA très américaine et SN. Houblonné versant sur le tropical (note de goyave) avec un léger résineux et un côté pamplemousse, mandarine et mangue.

Poured from 1pint 3.2 fl oz tall can (pkg 04/14/2024). Clear dull gold with full off white head. Biscuit malt, mild stone fruit and floral hops with just a feint hint of resin on the finish. A bit timid overall, but could be the age and hop expression falling off. Okay.

Can 568ml @ Linq Hotel room, Las Vegas. Pours hazy deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, citrus, alcohol and orange. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter with a long warm, citrus and orange finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very boring...

From a 355ml can on 29/3/2024. Pours a clear deep golden with a smallish head. Has a lovely caramel malt and resiny hop nose. Tastes sweet up front, with caramel, toffee and orange, followed by a firmish bitterness with dollops of lingering pine and resin. Has a chewy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Truly excellent stuff.
