Can. Hazy golden, fluffy offwhite cream. Fresh citrus and peach aroma, light canned lychee. Lightly oxidized fruit salad, still plenty of nice tropical, candy notes though. Medium body, light sirup, enough spritziness though. Tropical cheesecake finish.

0.44 l can from 'Homberg's große Bierwelt', best before June 2026. Minimally hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity-resiny aroma of orange jam, mango, grapefruit and some pine. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity-resiny taste of grapefruit, mango, pine and pineapple, followed by a medium long, fairly bitter finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really good!

440ml can. Opalescent, orange golden colour with average to huge, thick, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and piney, hoppy aroma, pale and minimally caramel malty background, notes of lemon, grapefruit, pineapple. Taste is crisp, bitter, citrusy fruity and piney hoppy, minimally spicy, pale malty and minimally caramel malty basis with low residual sweetness, notes of lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, a touch of salty cracker; lingering, bitter, slightly zesty finish, a minimally mineral touch as well.
Oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly greasy, simultaneously dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Absolutely hitting the style, crisp, bitter, straightforward - good!

Süffiger, weich herb-hopfiger Antrunk mit leichten Zitrusnoten, milder Bitterkeit, etwas Orange. Spritzig, weich bleibend, im Mittelteil kommt das helle Malz stärker zum Vorschein. Milde Süße, die Herbe steigt zum Ende etwas an, harmonisch. Langer, weich herber Abgang. 11/10/11/11/9/11

440ml can. Hazy, orange, dark golden colour with average to huge, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy and tropical fruity, minimally earthy-grassy, hoppy aroma, rather neutral, minimally bready malty and oaty background with a touch of grey bread crust, notes of mango, some lemon, a touch of blueberry, juniper berry, moss, very weak onion overtones. Taste is citrusy and tropical fruity hoppy, sweet-ish, wheaty and pale malty, minimally oaty basis with a minimally bready touch, hints of mango, some orange, a touch of blueberry, juniper berry, mildly funky, yeasty overtones.
Creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Classic composition and hop combo (Citra, Mosaic), but neither overly intense nor explicit, some weak off-flavours - pretty decent in the end.

0.44 l can from 'Homberg's große Bierwelt', best before February 2026. Hazy, golden with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity-floral aroma of pineapple, gooseberry and some lemon peel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, quite fruity-floral taste of pineapple, lemon peel, some gooseberry and light green tea, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice one, very easy to drink and refreshing.

440ml can. Opalescent, orange, golden colour with average to huge, thick, dense, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing white head. Piney, resinous, slightly citrusy fruity and grassy, hoppy aroma, slightly spicy, pale malty background, hints of pineapple, some grapefruit and orange, hints of salty cracker and lemon pip, whiffs of rubber. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy fruity and piney hoppy, pale and slightly caramel malty basis with low residual sweetness and a spicy touch of pretzel sticks, hints of orange peel, grapefruit, diluted hints of pineapple.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, not overly aromatic - flawless, but just mediocre in the end.
