Can picked up at Kihoskh and drunk at home (07/02/2023) - hazy yellow with a white head. Vibrant stonefruit action with some mango and peach, nectarine, splash of lemon, soft sweet creamy malty backbone, light bitter edged hoppy close. Very nice.

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, moderately lacing, snow white head. Citrusy and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, a passion fruit basic layer, a touch of mandarine, orange and yellow stone fruit, oaty malty background. Taste is juicy, citrusy fruity hoppy and oaty malty with subtle residual sweetness, notes of lemon, some kiwi fruit, fruit acid, a touch of white grapes, some alcohol, sugary interludes; lingering, minimally warming, alcoholic finish. Creamy-watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft, creamy carbonation. Creamy, juicy, highly drinkable - very good.

Pours hazy pear with floaties into a willi. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Pineapple, kumquat and guava aromas. Soft with sweet kumquat and pear upfront turning to honey and golden syrup in the sweet, lasting finish.

Tall can from Cloudwater Bermondsey Taproom. Drunk at the Tower Hotel. Hazed gold, large white head. Floral nose, gentle exotics. Fluffy smooth mouthfeel, light balanced hop fruitiness, great drinkability. Nice end to the night.

Reeeaaally wish Belleflower would start dating their cans....pretty ridiculous that they don't. This should be quite fresh and from the cooler at Fort Point Market. Drunk 1/11/23. Heavily hazy, bright peach-maize-golden with a small, but fairly-well-retained, white head. Love the Citra here but that Bru-1 adds a rather punchy/twangy nectarine/pineapple, almost spoiled-like, that I hate. Malts seem supportive with white bread, cracker and such. Clean yeast no alcohol or resin. Better in mouth with less of that overripe pineapple-peach character. Lots of fluffy, soft, almost nutty/creamy oat character to soften everything. Light white bread and honey, almost a vanilla cream sweetness. Juicy orange, light lime and a borderline maraschino cherry character lingering. Very low on the bitterness, though again, I don't know how old this is since they don't date their cans. Some interesting stuff going on, though ultimately too soft/sweet/creamy and the nose is weird. Alcohol emerging in both nose and flavor as it warms/breathes.
