0.355l bottle from Beer Republic. Aroma is piney, herbal, resinous and caramelly. Pours cloudy golden color with thick soapy white head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts refreshing tropical fruity and resinous, following is bready, herbal and slightly medicinal, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Hoplander…

12oz can from HomeBrewStuff. Clear, deep golden pour, small frothy white head. Hoppy, piney aroma. Hops are amped up in the taste, resinous, pine. Sticky feel too with lingering hoppy bitterness.

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 warm gold, there’s a slight haze,, mid sized white head. Very soft mouthfeel, there’s a little looseness about it, almost carefree, a touch of pineapple, it’s a touch on the sweet side, nice tropical fruits. Yeah a nice beer.

12 oz can from Wegmans, 3/1/25. Mostly clear yellowish color, large white head (bit of a gusher), moderate-plus lace. Grainy, herbal, citrus. A little malty. Solid drinker. Not bad, not great. I remember really liking the beers for the Luponic Distortion series a few years back, but this one is just very run-of-the-mill.
