Little cloudy gold blond beer, big aery fluffy white head, unstable, collapses a bit onto itself, non adhesive. Aroma: quite some citrus up front, very malty, grains, hay, a bit grassy, yeasty, not very fruity, not very aromatic all in all. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: good strong bitterness up front, quite some citrus notes, a little sweet, grassy, a bit piny, some grapefruit, a little soapy. Aftertaste: malty touch, grains, dried orange peel, good bitterness, floral touch, grassy, a hint of tropical fruits, some mango, lime, ok but not a NEIPA by far. By. Far.

SLOW GUSHER ALERT!
Clear amber to light brown beer, small creamy beige head, a little stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of coffee, some caramel, malty, dusty. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very sourish start, quite some coffee, a bit infected maybe? Gentle roast. Aftertaste: more coffee, very sour, don’t like it very much. Drinking just a 3rd of this beer has kept me lying wide awake at night for 2 hours. :-/
