10/VII/22 - 44cl can from Beers@MovieFun (I think), shared @ home, BB: 6/XI/22, canned: 6/V/21, lot: GC691 (2022-877)

Cloudy beige yellow beer, small fizzy crackling off-white head, unstable, falls down and dissipates quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: tropical fruits, ripe mango, citrus notes, very intense, some apricot jam, sourish impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, very fruity, lemony, citrus, tangerines, orange peel, bitter. Aftertaste: dry, lots of lemon and lime peel, bitter touch, a bit weird, hint of diacetyl, some overripe fruits, oxidized, oranges, orange peel, bitter finish, ok but not great.

Can from Deconinck. Hazy ochre, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of apricot-flavoured yoghurt, mandarin peel, lime, lemon, plum, sour cream. Taste has sour mandarin, lemon, citric acid generally, sweetish plum in yoghurty maltiness, bit lactic, salty, minerally. Tart, yellow-fruity finish, quite citric, lactic, apricot stone-like. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very fruity, refreshing, bit too citric perhaps.

Really good, the mandarin really jumps out in particular without being overpowering. Almost had a bit of a vinegar aroma however.

Murky orange,low head no resistance. No fruit aroma at start,a bit later. Nice sourness in taste, with balanced mix of fruit profile: first apricot then lemon,orange and mandarine. Maybe a bit too much fruit. Light saltiness makes good balance. Tart finish as expected. Low carbonation and light body. Nice one, drinkable sour. Again, maybe too much fruit profile. Even in aftertaste.

Can, 0.44l. Hazy orange pour, red hue. Hufe creamy off-white head, medium retention. Minimal lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, fruity, strong apricot notes, citruses in the background. Light to medium body, lively carbonation. Lightweight mouthfeel, average texture, slightly creamy. Balanced sweet and sour taste, refreshing. Fruity aroma, lots of apricot, citruses, zest, slightly acidic. Sweet candy notes in the background, subtle stickiness. Mild spice, medium lasting finish, tart, subtle salty touch. Pretty good.
