Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: orange haziness with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: melon, citrusy hops, mango and grassy hoppiness with some light clean malts
Flavor: sweet to bittersweet between the prior noted aromas; finishes citrusy and mango-like
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, semi-low carb, pretty good smoothness on the tongue, fairly low on the bitterness hitting the tongue
Overall: I believe this one is tracking mostly well. With a lil' bit more lowering of the carb and bitterness levels it's on it's way of dancing with the big hitters of style soon enough.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Fruity hoppy aroma with grass, tropical fruits, citrus, mango, grapefruit, melon, some pineapple, and a herbal touch. Flavour is light sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Pretty smooth and fruity, good drinkability.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy light yellow with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has light pineapple and melon with a bit of citrus supporting. Flavor has slightly dank mango and some citrus with a bit of melon in the finish.

On tap at FiftyFifty, pours a cloudy opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma is gently dank, with pithy stone fruits, dank hops, and citrus. Flavour seems much more hazy-like, with lots of stone fruit pulp, citrus, and chalk. Muddled and poorly expressing of the hops. Lame.

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish golden colour with small to average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Juicy, fruity hoppy and minimally floral-veggie aroma, rather unspecific fruitiness with citrusy and tropical aspects, orange in a way, a touch of agave, shower gel, nut oil, later some zesty hints of kumquat. Taste is citrusy and tropical fruity hoppy, rather unspecific fruitiness again, some orange, kumquat and the like, some zesty bitterness, some vegetable aspects again, agave, nut oil, there's no really soapy interference, but all the fruity flavours come along in a way reminding somehow of shower gel or hair conditioner - not in an artificial way themselves, but as embedded into something usable as cleaning in the farest sense. Not really convincing.

Draught @ Ginger Man - NYC (2/19/20). Extremely hazy bright yellow with small frothy off-white head, apricot-melon aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel taste with peach/melon flavor, somewhat thick body, long flavorful finish. Very satisfying.
