Can from Beers@Moviefun. Hazy orange, thinning, off-white head. Aroma of ripe tangerine, mango, melon, orange juice, biscuit, honey, peach, lime zest. Taste has sweet tangerine, melon & peach, zesty citrus and softly bitter mango in a honeyish malt body. Floral hoppy finish, bit piney & spicy, quite malty still yet with lingering ripe & juicy tropical fruits; dash of warming fruit liqueur-like alcohol (almost 'Obstler'-like). Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Expressive and crafty.

14/II/22 - 33cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: XII/2022 (2022-187)
Clear blond beer, small irregular creamy white head, a little stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, lots of tropical fruits, juicy, sweet impression, peaches, some mango, tangerines, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit sweet at first, hoppy nice bitterness, fruity touch, sweet malts, grains, hay. Aftertaste: a bit resinous, wry bitterness, little medicinal, fruity touch, dry finish with some grassy notes, good but not great.

New DIPA variation by Totem, big thanks to the brewer for the can! Hopped with good old Columbus but also Talus, a new Yakima hop variety derived from Sabro, in itself still a 'hip hop', if you see what I mean. Moussy, medium sized, audibly fizzing, egg-white, gradually opening but generally stable head over a hazy apricot blonde beer with pale orangey hue. Strong bouquet of fresh lime peel, pomelo, lemongrass, pink grapefruit, guava, green mango, hint of 'diesel', lemon cake, sunflower oil, vanilla sugar, triple sec, sugared lemon juice, honey, crushed pink peppercorns, dried lemonbalm. Crisp, colourful onset, lively carbonated with sweet and softly sourish notes of guava, mango, pomelo and lime, full but smooth, oily mouthfeel; bready malt core, fluffy and doughy, deeply soaked in a 'sunny', exuberant, refreshing hoppiness with lots of tropical associations (the mango and guava again) as well as a slight and brief hint at diesel-like dankness, but primarily offering an exotic citrus effect, uplifting the other flavours to a grand finale of colourful brightness - paired with a somewhat peppery hoppy bitterishness and more peppery, triple sec-like alcohol, which stretches out long into the finish, even interfering with the hops a bit. A very light, late and subtle but unmistakable hop burn is also discernible, but easily forgiven seen its short duration and relative insignifance in relation to the overall flavour. Powerful, boastful and ambitious NEDIPA, showcasing the possibilities of this new Talus variety (most easily associated with exotic citrusiness) in the best possible way. Utterly solid, and potentially even more expressive than most earlier Totem NEIPAs and NEDIPAs.
