Canned On 11/04/2025 (November dus he?). Schenkt een troebele goud-oranje kleur met een standvastie witte kraag die maar heel langzaampjes inzakt. Geur van kruidige hop, zacht, licht harsig, thee, iets fruitig. Retronasaal is er meer fruit, maar ook weer wat hars, kruidige hop, en zelfs iets zoetigs. Smaak is gemiddeld bitter met een licht zoetje. Medium body. Zachte koolzuurprikkeling. Redelijk bittere nasmaak maar toch nog vrij mild. Goed spul die Society & Solitudes, maar de veschillende versies lijken wel op elkaar.

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!

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.
