Decent noble hops. There's lots of it, and it kind of disguises a perhaps otherwise not so dry pils. Golden pour. Can from Brewshop advent calendar.

Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Berkel-Enschot Netherlands and consumed at home in the company of Jonas, Ursula and Marko Friday 7th February 2025 listening to ByteFM, we had Beef Stifado and a Greek Salad for tea tonight. Pours hazy yellow with a white head, pineapple cubes on the nose and in the mouth but for me it's a one trick pony, don't get much else exciting.

Can. Hazy to milky golden offwhite lace. Pineapple nose, medium body, mellow, dry, pleasant tropical, not sticky, fun fizz, capri sun feeling, quick fresh, a lit fresher than most dinosaurs.

Can, huge thanks Fin and Loz for sharing it with the rest of us! Hazy yellow-orange body, off-white head. Some mango and citric notes in the sweetish aroma. Smooth, lean, dry taste, bit tropical, lightly peachy, not much bitterness, ending lightly herbal, vaguely vegetal and without bitterness. Pretty drinkable!

Can - a really cute one. Murky golden. Stonefruit, peach, melon, grainy. Fizzy, dry sweetness, with melon, and an icecream sticky aftertaste.

Can - lightly hazy gold - moderate lace - dry and assertively bitter, with a light lemon character through the middle - oak from the foeder is quite present, particularly on the back end - creamy texture - dry, bitter finish - enjoyable.
