Draft glass @ Beerlovers Bar. More regular hazy IPA appearance, creamy white. Nose is sweet soapy, weird cleaning product, peach, stone fruit. Taste is weird, very sweet upfront with fizzy overripe fruit and sweet potato, starch, sweet, lingering overripe fruit,… Thick. Very weird beer, all that sweet potato sweetness, weird, not sure as to what was going on here.

Can from Beer Cave. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of pineapple yoghurt, spring onion and cream crackers. Flavour of grass, lemon sponge and pine needles. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Smooth and fruity.

Strong citrusy nose. Cloudy pale yellow golden, good frothy off-white head but quickly diminishing. Aroma pale malt, orange, lemon, pineapple, star fruit, grass, undercurrent of candied fruit, light basement. Taste light to medium sweet and medium bitter, light citrus acidity, malty, grainy, lemon, grapefruit, orange peel, light pine resin. Lingering bittersweet aftertaste, orange pith, lemon, mineral touch. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, fresh well-hopped IPA with aspects of a sour beer, nice.

Has a mild hop Aroma with a little bit of fruit. Flavors are like nose a touch of sweet up front with a mild resin bitter finish also Citrus rind. Carbonation works well here but overall it's just okay.

Pour is a ugly looking murky brown green with a large white head. Aroma is a decent sweet orange. Flavor is an ok citrus fruit with a big bitterness. Finish is dry and tongue tingling. This was barley ok for the style. Not a huge fruityness but does have a big bracing bitterness.

7/XII/18 - on tap @ DOK Brewing Company (Ghent), BB: n/a - (2018-1962)
Very cloudy beige beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: tropical fruits, grapefruit, more tropical fruits, papaya, mango, lovely stuff. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: lots and lots of brett, artificial brett, fruity, bit funky, bitter, sweetish, peaches. Aftertaste: little dirty, more brett, soapy, artificial brett. Pretty mediocre...
