300ml on tap at Tsota Tsota in Tbilisi. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is melon, pine, pale malt, slightly boozey. Taste is medium sweet, melon, citrus, pine. Medium bitter finish. Medium bodied. Some more carbonation would work in its favour.

0.5 l can from 'Bierloods22', canned in June 2024. Very dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, quite fruity, gently yeasty-spicy aroma of molasses, lovage, blackcurrant, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins and prunes. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity and moderately yeasty-spicy taste of molasses, lovage, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, licorice root, prunes and raisins, followed by a short, moderately bitter, a little warming finish. Medium to full body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Interesting beer, too spicy for me though, not overly harmonious.

500ml can. Opalescent, orange golden colour with average to huge, thick, dense, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Minimally perfumed, citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma with a jelly bear touch, minimally biscuity, pale and crystal malty background, hints of nectarine, unripe yellow stone fruit, lemon, mandarine, minimally waxy overtones. Taste is tropical and citrusy fruity hoppy, light, minimally spicy, pale malty basis with a touch of cracker, very low residual sweetness, diluted hints of mango, peach, nectarine, some unripe yellow stone fruit, mild hop bitterness. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. West Coast style - accepted with emphasis on style and in demarcation to New England style, but: Rather untypical (fruity) hop flavours, relatively weak malty backbone, restricted hop bitterness - decent.
