Fairly clean and crisp golden coloured body with a very thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white and almost creamy tan head. Aroma of citrus fruits, pure oranges, a dash of curacao and a little bit of floral notes at the tail end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong crisp and very citrusey elements show with some oranges, grass and flowers all here along with a strong and fairly noticeable yeastie bite with some biscuits as well. Aftertaste shows the strong hops with the citrus flavours front and centre along with the grassy and perfumey components and a dash of light spices noticeable on the end which bumps up the complexity, in a nice way. Overall, a very enjoyable, full-flavoured, yet crisp, fairly bitter IPA wth some good citrus aspects, but a more clean and dry beer than I expected. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fairfield, California on 07-March-2022 for US$2,34 sampled in my hotel room here back in Fairfield, California on 11-March-2022 while here on my last day here in the state.

Very clear golden and light yellow coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head, about a single centimetre tall that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of yeast, bread, light citrus fruit and a good deal of sugars here. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and bready notes show at first with a lot of hay and floral elements with a touch of pine and candy with a yeastie and wheatie finish towards the end. Aftertaste is pretty clean with some slight citrus and grassy notes all on top of the relatively strong alpha acid bitterness from the hops that is noticeable throughout. Overall, a nice, rich and flavorful IPA with a lot of characteristics, especially for the style that hits nicely and brings out a slight bitterness from the hops here. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Fairfield, California on 07-March-2022 for US$2,09 sampled in my hotel room here in [downtown] San Francisco, California on 07-March-2022 just a few hours later while enjoying the city here.

3 May 2020. Anke's Secret Birthday Tasting avec Pieter. Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Pours hazy orange with a big, lasting, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of dank mango & peach, tangerine, yellow grapefruit, pine, spring onion, kiwi. Taste is a bitter profile of yellow grapefruit, unripe stonefruit, pine with sweeter hints of mango & tangerine, doughy malty backbone & a dank whiff throughout. Dry, resinous & piney hoppy finish, more dank fruit & yeast. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Feels very old school; what else does one need?
