Huge, dark beige to olive head, gone in seconds over virtually black beer. Dry coffee, mocha, melanoidins, roast, ashes. Dry coffee, ashy, a bit of paper/cardboard. Bit of cola flavour in the background. Not very well-bodied, bit watery even, but long-lasting flavours. More than reasonable beer, but nowhere as stellar as their Nerd Choice.

Draught; very last of the keg Huge white dense head, over yellow-greenish beer so hazy that it is one big UFO. Very nice, super-inviting grapefruit hops, fresh green herbs. Really bitter but one that is specifically hoppy - New World hops. Fruity, but really in a hoppy way. Light body despite the yeast overload, refreshing. Well-carbonated. Superb!

Thank you! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ Gollem during "Italy Beerweekend - Roma Edition". Black with zero head. Nose oily molasses & very big on ice coffee, mocha, largely ice cofee. Taste is ice coffee, bit too heavy on vegetabel coffee as well, mocha, low licorice. Lacks carbonation, bit too vegetable heavy on the coffee spectrum, taste-wise but smell is nice, decent overall.

Thank you! Sampled draft @ Gollem during "Italy Beerweekend - Roma Edition". Very hazy golden, soapy white head. Bit grainy, Vermont styled yeast, bit messy, grainy, old lemon peel,... Messy not a bad approximation of a NEIPA styled low ABV brew.

Draft glass @ Beerlovers Bar. Super hazy golden, soapy white head. Nose is dough, Vermont yeast feel, mango peel & lemon. Taste is bit empty, lightly mineral, slab of Vermont-style yeast, lemon, mango peel, low grass, decent stab at a lower ABV NEIPA style brew,... Mineral, fizzy body, cheesy, mango body,... Not entirely there, not bad for sure.

Tap at beerlovers bar. Pours unclear yellow, small white head. Smell is citrussy (some lemon) mild grassy notes as well. Some hidden aspects of tropical fruits (pineapple). No real sign of malts or yeast. Taste is assertively bitter, sharp corny malts is hidden underneath the hops. Mild lemon notes from the hops.
