473ml can. Hazy, pale yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, creamy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, white head. Relatively weak, citrusy fruity hoppy and wheaty malty, slightly oaty malty aroma, hints of lemon and lemongrass. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy fruity and slightly grassy hoppy, oaty and slightly wheaty malty basis with low residual sweetness, notes of lemon, some lemon peel, limoncello, a touch of lime, mild citric tartness.
Oily-creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, rather condensed, but neither overly intense nor multifacetted hop flavours - a very good beer, but in parts for rather secondary reasons.

Canned 04/25 and opens with a fresh medley of tropical and citrusy fruit on the nose, and taste follows with lots of tangerine and grapefruit, mango and papaya, some zesty lime and lemon, dense oat laden malty backbone, assertive bitter hoppy finish.

During TEST and Root&Brunch TTO.
Weird flowery and grassy notes. Taste is better, moderately sweet, juicy, fruity. Pretty good.
