Can from Naiv. Gold with a sudsy, white head that lingers. Tropical aroma, a mix of passion fruit and oranges. Taste is slightly odd, bitter but with a candy-like character on top that’s both tart and sweet. Lingering tartness with a touch of resin. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Not unpleasant, but doesn’t quite come together.

Pours slightly unclear blonde. Huge, stable white head. Scent is mild, tropical mostly. Mild bready maltbase, seemingly some (not a lot) of crystal malts ? Taste is sharp, fairly dry and relatively bitter, but not as dry and bitter as i had hoped or expected. Some sweetness that doesnt really fit, not in style, not with the other elements. High carbonation ( overcarbonated even, i'd say) not getting a lot of resins. Sure, they can be found, but not enough to really please me.
All and all, this is drinkable, but subpar for the style, as a beer in this style.
