Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 30A: chilli, tonka, vanilla / 18B). Can 44 cl - Batch C (BBF 10/23). AROMA: medium-low hop aroma with a fresh-green note (mint). medium notes of vanilla and medium-low tonka. low background with a slight sweet character. APPEARANCE: blue color and hazy with a slight green hue. medium-low white to light-blue head with average retention. TASTE: initial medium-low hop notes (mint), followed by medium-low to low vanilla and tonka. neutral background and slightly sweet. medium-high bitterness with a semi-dry to dry and bitter finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: although the aroma is a bit overwhelmed by vanilla, seems more balanced in the flavor. ok.

Can from Mashgang. It pours and intense unatural deep blue colour with a fizzy light blue head. The aroma is sweet, tropical fruits, blue ice pole vibes, touch of vanilla, sticky, candy and berry. The taste is not quite as expected.... firmly dry, some bitterness, pithy, zesty, orange squash, tangerine, mango, tropical vibes, nip of pine, spice, blue ice poles, some underlying candy and vanilla sweetness with a dry finish. Light body and fine, prickly carbonation. A weird concoction. A proper disconnect between appearance, aroma and taste. Novel for sure, but I'm not so sure about it.

Can at home. pours blue! Nose is vanilla, tonka, pineapple, floral, taste is sweet, creamy vanilla, light fruit.
