Pale gold with a frothy, white head. Aroma is a mix of citrus, coconut milk and honey melon. Taste is bitter with a bit of tart lemon juice. There also a substantial bready, malty sweetness underneath. Medium-bodied, good chewiness, warmth at the finish, but it fails to really come together in the end. Not bad.

Super hazy golden, blonde, raw honey and even peach coloured body with a very thick, four to five centimetre tall tan and off-white head. Aroma of bright, grassy, citrusey and piney hops with a bit of candy and sugars at the end with a slight biscuity malt note, too. Medium-bodied; Rich candy sweetness at first that shows grapefruits, kumquats and light apples, but then fades to more of a rich malty and biscuity flavour without any hops, bitterness or complexities. Aftertaste is fairly deep - ranging from the apple and even light stone fruit flavours that show at first to a grassy, dry and herbal, cleanser-like astringency from the malt with a light sweetness at the end and pretty devoid of alcohol, it seems. Overall, a good enough IPA with some pungent, deep flavours that bring out a light sweetness, fruits and interesting hops, but not much bitterness and not really a defined product. This is all over the map, but it's interesting at least! Nice to try fresh as I'm back home in Virginia! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 04-July-2021 for US$1,67, canned on 07-May-2021 with the tagline 'And we lived beneath the waters in our yellow submarine', sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-August-2021.

Can @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg. Pours hazy light straw with stable white head. Clear aroma of hops and citrus, with notes of tropical fruit and touches of yeast. Bitter flavourbof hops and citrus, with sweetish notes of fruit and malt and estery touches. Lingering fruity and bitter aftertaste. High carbonation. Well-balanced and tasty. A nice one.
