330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average to huge, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Piney, fruity, slightly grassy and citrusy, hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple, lemon, a touch of yuzu, lime, lemon drop, slightly biscuity, pale malty background, very light yeasty funky overtones. Taste is dry and bitter, citrusy fruity hoppy, ephemeral notes of lemon, a touch of yuzu, light funky interludes; the fruity flavours quickly fade away and make room for mineral and chalky notes which completely take over and govern the finish solely. Watery texture, dry palate, medium to fine, prickly carbonation. Very nice nose, very refreshing, can sadly not keep up the promising initial niveau - pretty decent nevertheless.

330ml bottle, via Beer52: BB 31st Dec 2020. Drank at home on 21st Feb 2020. Very pale blonde/golden body, thin white head. Citrus leanings in the aroma and taste. Initial taste is dry, lightens up a little mid-sip and a tropical fruity sweetness arrives before a citrus bite in the finish.

[33cl bottle from Beer52.] A straw coloured pour with a craggy white head and lively carbonation; citrusy aroma with a touch of yeast; crisp citrus taste to start with a creamy body then some bread and yeast; leaving a limey citrus zing to finish. Rather good.
