Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Berkel-Enschot Netherlands and consumed at home Sunday 16th March 2025 after a short walk to Gasthof zum Sonnewald which was closed. Pours yolks yellow, very murky, large white sticky head. Sweet, overripe tropical fruit,, soft creamy mouthfeel, it's fine but the XPA and Luponic Distortion had previously were better beers.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenny, 29/01/2025.
Hazed golden orange topped with a lasting light egg shell white cap.
Nose is orange zest, grass, grapefruit, pine needle, papaya.
Taste comprises bitter orange, grass, pine, melon, grapefruit, guava.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness.
Okay easy drinking DIPA if nothing I'd pick up again.

Can. Just a mild haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate starts fairly smooth but soon develops good fine minerally carbonation. Soft and creamy pale malts. Cooling pine over hoppy candy fruits, modern Mosaic? Soft but reasonably bright citrus underneath. More cooling pine on the back end along with a small pinch of hop spice. Refreshingly piney!

Nice juicy neon yellow colour. Fresh aromas of intense lemon, some resin pine, minty side notes. Boozy but smooth, sweet, orange marmalade. Good balance and full bodied. Just the right length of finish too. Very good but a tick too sweet for my taste.

Cloudy, golden color and a nice white head. Nose of overripe tropical fruits, hoppy-fruity. Taste Starts with a nice hoppy-fruity was, smooth mouthfeeling, Juicy. Mando and pineapple, bitter-sweet hoppy Finish. Nice stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mind Haze Brain Melter on 12 Sep 2024 at 23:02 - Score: 8.
