450ml can. Hazy, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Very intense, juicy, tropical fruity hoppy and slightly resinous aroma, notes of peach and physalis, passion fruit, mango, some orange, some melon.

Oily-watery texture, smooth and minimallygreasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very intense, immensely fruity, quite unique flavour profile due to the (seemingly) typical Kykao resinous touch - very good!

Can in the party van with CBarley and Jonas. Thx Fin! Opaque yellow body, big white head with good retention. Spicy, yeasty, floral, herbal hoppy aroma. Medium, dry hody, grainy and yeasty, bit citric, herbal, slightly too astringent to my taste, lasting bitterish finish. Okay, rustical, daring.

Can. Murky pale golden. Grainy, sweetness, farts, lemon. Hoppy sweet, oily soapy, bit sticky. Not undrinkable. Not very much a Pils.

Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery, cheers Kostas! Had this in the company of Jonas, Ursula and Marko Sunday 15th February 2026 after a busy weekend of beer tasting. Pours almost clear with a light straw colour perhaps, looks like there is a few tiny strands of pineapple in suspension. Refreshing and easy drinking, great summer drink, pineapple is there throughout but not too pushy. Score 7.1

Can. Very pale golden with floaties. Pineapple. Watery, yes, but I prefer pineapple like this, compared to the usual pineapple smoothie with garlic green onion cream. Refreshing. I like it.

Can, huge thanks Fin for sharing at MH 2026! Dull pale greenish-yellow hazy body, fleeting white head. What? Pineapple, herbal hop, lean, dry taste. I see where they are going with "hop water" without this being hop water, but a very, very, VERY light and diluted (and reverse engineered) beer. Not sure sourness helps for me. It's... certainly... not offensive, it's certainly fruity and hoppy and tart... I don't hate it, but... nah.
