Can at home shared at tasting. Hazy yellow color, full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, hoppy bitter. Alright but not a wow factor.

Can from vintage 2$, caned 5/19/25 opened 12/15/25. Initially clear pale with some white head. Nose is phenolic and metallic. Taste is bitter wheat ale character with some weird citrus metallic backup. Decent co2 level. In the middle, reminds me more of an inferior saison, some farmy pepper in there. Tropical notes absent. Getting some yeast out of the bottom of the can. I'd say this does not have enough manners to be classified as a belgian ale. JMHO, meh

Lots of strawberry for sure. Comes off fairly tangy and a little cough syrupy, both in flavour and in loom. Clear pink pour with ok head. Tart finish. A litte more sour than most Drekker smoothie beers--more of an actual beer, to a degree. 77767

330ml bottle courtesy of and shared with Kermis. Poured almost black in colour with round tan head. The aroma is roasty, herbal, liquorice. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, oily, maple syrup, sugary, chocolate, earthy, liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with a soft carbonation.
