Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Cloidyy reddish orange, mid sized head. Aroma of nectarine and strawberries. Sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and jammy with some nectarine. Low bitterness.

Can 33 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque greenish golden with a short, fizzy, white head. Distinct tropical hops in the nose, but more dank than aromatic. Medium body, intense dankness and petroleum notes with a somewhat bitter finish. Not badly made, just not to my liking much. 270326

Dry, tropical fruity and juicy with some ripeish notes, citrus, grapefruit and peachy pineapple vibes. A bit more unbalanced than the Coolhead.
