Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear amber with a finger of beige head that dissipates. Floral hop aromas with light bready malts. Palate is similar with a nice earthy hop undertone. Lingering floral and crackery malt notes. I appreciate the mild bitterness over sweetness in a festbier.

Big stiff bubbly head, quite clear deepish yellow colour, aroma of citrus and grass, sweetish malty flavor with a bit of citrus and tropical fruits, medium mellow bitterness. Excellent IPA for being non alcoholic.

Fruktig, lett. Svakt syrlig.

35,5 cl. can @ home, bought @ Plus Culemborg.
Hazy golden with a white head. Nice citrus aroma with tropical fruit as well. Sweet taste with a medium bitter finish. Decent but unremarkable.

473ml can. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of pine, resin, grapefruit, orange. Taste is wonderfully hoppy, loads of piney resinous hops, grapefruit, citrus peel, pithy orange, a touch of caramel among the biscuity malt base, strong bitterness throughout that lingers in the finish. Medium bodied. Quality westie.

Can from the Packie enjoyed at home.
Pours a brilliant deep gold color with a good sized white head that slowly dissipates. Bready crackery maltiness with a bit of melanoidin and spicy earthy hops to counter. Pretty tasty.

Can from Wegmans. Deep amber with orange, clear, with a low head. Fruity, toasty aroma, apple and sweet mandarin, some caramel, grass. Again very fruity flavor, more like an ale than a lager. Slightly nutty, toasty, nice bitterness. Light body. Tasty but seems out of style.
