Can from Daily Delis, Amsterdam.
A: hazy ochre, thin, off-white head.
A: ripe apricot, pineapple juice, Malibu, tangerine, triple sec.
T: very sweet pineapple, apricot, coconut, sugar, honey.
F: floral hops, harsh bittersweet tropical fruits, warming vodka-like alcohol.
P: medium to full body, oily-sticky texture, soft carbonation.
Too hefty and unrestrained.

440ml can. Hazy, orange, golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, considerably lacing, white head. Condensed, citrusy, fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of orange, mandarine, lemon, candied orange peel, hints of orange liqueur, Cointreau, limoncello, cautious, minimally sugary, oaty and wheaty malty background, whiffs of marmalade, liquorice. Taste is sweet, sugary, alcoholic and citrusy, fruity hoppy, minimally dry, papery, condensed and somehow restricted notes of orange, mandarine, orange peel, candied orange peel, slightly dry and sweet-ish, oaty malty basis; not completely, but rather well hidden alcohol. Creamy to viscous, simultaneously somehow slightly crumbly texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation. Balanced and harmonious, surprisingly amicable, meek; of course demonstrating a condensation rather than an unfolding of flavours - pretty good. Nice beer, doesn't change my skepticism regarding the rationale for this kind of brews.
