Pint can pours with a murky opaque copper dull gold body that supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up mango, papaya and cantaloupe. The taste delivers juicy mango laced with tangelo to start. It then picks up some soft cantaloupe blended with a thin layer of sweet bread. Interesting stuff as its juicy, soft, bitter and a bit odd with the funky side of tropical fruitiness.

Pint can pours with a murky nearly opaque deep gold body that has copper hues and supports a thin yet effervescent off white head of foam. The aroma offers up citrus juice like grapefruit and then funkier papaya and guava notes. The taste delivers juicy tangelo and the some bitter grapefruit before picking up tart lime and odd sort of under ripe guava notes. Toward the finish an out of place mineral sensation is also noticed. This one really isn't coming together.

Pint can pours with a murky opaque straw and deep gold body that supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up tangy tangerine and mango as well as softer notes of cantaloupe and honeydew. A deep pull brings up juicy orange and a sense of oat. The taste delivers similar notes as soft cantaloupe tussles with brighter tangy tangerine and mango. To midway it becomes sweeter and a little more juicy as the softness fades. The balance and flavor depth are nice.

Pint can via trade, thanks Arturo ... @ Sebletitje pre-Bxl Beerfest evening. Canned March 01 2018. Dorée sur léger trouble, paille, col fin blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet finement fruité et herbacé, pointe de malt pils avec fini citronné et note rappelant la poudre d'ail et qcq agrumes. Palais est légèrement malté, pils, effet feuilles sèches avec pointe herbacée. Sur la fin le tout devient plus trouble et se voit renforcer sur son effet poudre d'ail.

On tap at Salud Beer Shop, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh passionfruit, with lots of acidity. Flavour is intensely acidic, with tropical passionfruit, intense acidity and light saison yeast. Really fresh and expressive tropical fruitiness, but the acidity is a bit much. Good beer.
