Can at home from J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 25th December 25. Pours hazy orange yellow. Aroma is citrus, pithy and tropical fruits. Taste is bright, fruity, a little dry and some bittersweet notes. Good

Catching up on Day 4 of the Brew Export Advent Calendar. A can, of course. Hazy waxy light yolk yellow. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has floral and stone fruit notes, with peripheral resin and a hint of citrus. Underlying malts. Flavourwise it's quite bitter - resin and citrus with chewy pithy stone fruit. Peripheral syrupy canned fruit. Underlying vanilla porridge. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation provides buoyancy. Long dry astringent finish. Nice stuff.

Draught @ Harlem Hops, NY. Sweetish, creamy and massively dank with some tropical notes, herbal hops and pine. Pretty intense and tasty.
