Can at tasting. Slightly reddish hue, smoothie looks. Strawberry and mango with refreshing lime finishing off. You could eat this with a spoon, so thick. Creamy and slightly tart berry smoothie.

44cl Blik, dank (?) Joost! Tja, wat moet je hier nou van vinden..? Ziet er werkelijk niet uit, een soort vies lichtpaars gekleurd smurfensnot, geen kraag, paar belletjes erin. Het smoothie gehalte is zeer hoog, gezien de sporen die het achterlaat in het glas. Geur en smaak zijn, eerlijk is eerlijk, echt wel lekker, stoofperen, hint van steranijs, kaneel, glühwein, heel licht zuurtje. Extreem dik mondgevoel, wat het een uiterst 'interessante' proefervaring geeft. Lachwekkend dat dit nog bier mag heten.

No see on konkreetselt smoothie väikse keefiri noodiga. Okish, meeldib, et pole liialt magus nagu paljud sarnased.

Magus, mõru, linnaseline, männine, kuiv, vaigune, nats puuvilja ja suhkrut ka, veits alksi ka, aga ei miskit hullu. Lõpp on korralikult mõru ja humalane. Hea.

Pole üldse hapu .. ok neipa, kuiv, mehune, laktoosine ja magus, eelistaks rohkem puuviljasust ja vähem laktoosisust.

Pale gold and hazy with a foamy, white head of modest duration. Flora aroma with fruit candy and pineapples. Taste is bitter the whole way through. Very dry finish, slightly chalky, too chalky to really feel refreshing. Lingering dankness. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Ok.
