330ml can. Murky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, thick, frothy, to creamy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Dusty yeasty, minimally citrusy, grassy and fruity, hoppy aroma, a touch of gooseberry, white grapes, some grass and fresh hay, whiffs of coconut. Taste is fruity hoppy and dusty yeasty, hints of gooseberry, white grapes, a touch of fresh hay, whiffs of coconut, a tart-ish, fruit acidic, basic layer. Somehow foamy texture, indifferent palate, medium to coarse, slightly prickly carbonation. Flawless but not really exciting.

Bottle. Golden color. Tropical fruit, sharp citrus and a hint of grass in the aroma. Malty sweet, grassy herbal flavor with lots of fruit. Pleasant.

Bottle picked up from Beerdome, Webshop Grootegaste, Netherlands. Had this at home listening to Marc Riley on 6Music Wednesday 4th November 2020. Pours black with a tiny head that disappeared without a trace. Lots of coffee, however I get some lactose, though maybe it's just silky smooth, a little boozy, some lotus biscuits, roasty, this is really nice.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 4.60.2022 Pours no head. Aroma has cocoa and salty licorice. Flavour has coffee, salty licorice, ash and tobacco. Palate is low on CO2 but does not disturb that much. Dry and good.

Hazy golden pour with a white head that gives way to a fluffy lacing. Notes of papaya, mango, pineapple, ripe white grapes, vanilla, lime. Really nicely balanced and very sessionable.
