0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeershop.com', best before July 2026. Slightly hazy, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral and a bit malty aroma of grains, lemon peel, some pineapple and light straw. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity-floral taste of grains, straw, corn, lemon peel and pineapple, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Almost medium-bodied, quite smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very pleasant beer, quite aromatic for the style, still nothing crazy.

Bottle from Bierkiste. Mostly clear golden, pearling carbonation, low head. Grainy, light bubblegum aroma. Fruity, flower and honey on the palate, chewy, fine sparkly, restrained in the spices, nice tealike flavor though, requires a shake of the bottle to get the whole wit feeling.

On tap at Hoppebräu in the company of Jude and Baz, Thursday 14th August 2025 sat in the Biergaten of Hoppebräu. Pours light hazy yellow with a large sticky white head. Nice nose, a little spice, I do pick up the coriander here but less so the orange peel, that said it's a lovely refreshing beer, light fruity, quick finish, good.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orange golden colour with small, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Weak, minimally perfumed, spicy aroma, wheaty malty background, a touch of coriander and orange peel. Taste is slightly spicy and citrusy fruity, sweet-ish, wheaty malty basis, hints of orange peel with some zesty bitterness and tangerine overtones, some coriander with mild peppery spiciness and weak wasabi overtones.
Creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation.
A bit cautious, especially rather weak in the nose, but overall balanced, harmonious and pretty creamy - nice.

330ml bottle. Minimally milky, orange golden colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, snow white head. Pale malty, minimally doughy yeasty and minimally resinous, woody aroma with minimally soapy overtones, weak hints of honey and spruce. Taste is pale malty and mildly bitter, earthy and resinous woody, minimally floral, slightly doughy yeasty, hints of floral honey, spruce needles, increase of earthy flavours in the middle part, spruce, resin; finish is again more sweet-ish with hints of honey and higher intensity of floral flavours, minimally soapy interludes.
Slightly oily, watery texture, minimally dry palate with greasy extension, medium to coarse, prickly carbonation.
Not really disharmonious, but slightly heterogeneous, desintegrated and overall rather cautious - bummer!
