8/8/2025. Keg at GBBF 2025. Poured with a big head. Hoppy, fizzy, fruity, rubbery aroma with a minerals edge. Nice bittersweet taste. Gassy carbonation. Not bad.

Fortsatt godt lesbare og relativt pålitelige notater fra GBBF-23. Fra keg og delt med Steven: klar lys gylden med fint skum som varer. Friskt og fruktig anslag med søt citrus og lyse tropiske frukter. Hint av pære. Mild bitterhet, lettdrikkelig og mye mersmak på en sommerdag som dette.
