Can. Just misted yellowish orange with a rocky cm of white head. Peach, cracker, Meyer lemon and some tropical fruit aroma. Fruity with modest bitterness but a dryish ending. Good quaffer.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma of citrus, passion fruit, flowers and resin. Pours clear straw color with medium sized soapy white head, fair lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts medium sweet grainy and faint citrusy, following is grassy and bready, mouthfeel is crisp and rather dry, while finish is average bitter. Light to medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Just an average pale ale…

35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Mistig bleekgele kleur, witte kraag. Geur is hoppig, dennen, citrus, hint van rubber, smaak is wel behoorlijk dun, waterig, bitter. Lichte body. Prima zomerbier, maar niet geweldig.

Sample (from Beer Republic). Yellowish colour, small small white head. Aroma is floral, herbal and some mild grassy tones. Flavour is floral, herbal and some earthy tones with some mild wooden tones. Refreshing, but kind of lean back.

12 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Clear, light gold color. Pillowy white head. Earthy malt aroma hints at spicy, herbal hops. Flavor is clean and crisp. Light in body, but nicely flavored. Notes of cut grass, citrus zest and and a hint of pine. Very drinkable.
