Opaque, light floral accents, honey, there’s some alcohol to lend dryness. Decent.

750ml growler.
Hazy golden pour, big frothy white head.
Intense aroma of grapefruit, every citrus zest you can think of, and an extreme fresh green hoppiness.
The new zealand hop im assuming is nelson sauvin, and it adds a bright citrus/vinous/acidic taste and aroma that is very refreshing, and crisp. This is super drikable, and doesn’t seem to be the palate shredder i expected. The bitterness is kept in check, and the finish is just more and more green hoppiness. Great, great stuff!

Can at home from J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 27th October 24. Pours an opaque orange. Aroma is pithy, grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, satsuma. Taste is citrus, satsumas, fresh, marmalade, bittersweet, some papaya, light mangoes, bitter and dry long linger. Outstanding from HF
Little grapefruit juice to go along with Rayo Vallecano hosting Celta Vigo.

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, fluffy, moderately to mostly lasting, immensely lacing, white head. Grassy, fruity, minimally resinous, piney, hoppy and wheaty malty aroma, notes of gooseberry, kiwi fruit, a subtle touch of pear and basil, banana. Taste is fruity and grassy, minimally resinous hoppy, wheaty and pale malty with subtle residual sweetness, rather unspecific fruitiness, green fruit, unripe fruit, a touch of banana; Hopfenweisse resemblance. Creamy-watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, medium to fine, very soft, close to flat carbonation. Very well crafted, homogeneous, balanced; slightly unusual, but not the most impressive hop flavours - very good, probably innovative at the time of its first release, not that outstanding for me today.

Tastes something like Nelson, though I could be wrong. Fresh pineapple and grapefruit. Slightly hazy golden pour with decent head. A little tangerine. Nice stuff. Tap at Grand Delancey.

Draft at The Farm House. Hazy orange golden with two finger fluffy, creamy head, chunky lacing. Light fruity, citrusy aroma with a peppery edge. Taste is like a pillow in your mouth, fruity, citrus, floral, full, creamy. Drinking a cloud. This is exquisite. Lifetime beer. 5 stars all the way.
0,3 litre Can, at home. Hazy yellow/ orange with white head. Malts, hops, sweetness, grapefruit, bitterness.
