0.45 l can from 'OnderNulPuntVijf', canned in September 2020. Almost clear, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of pineapple, lychee and mirabelle. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, quite fruity-floral taste of mirabelle, pineapple and lemon peel, followed by a short, slightly bitter, minimally worty finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really pleasant NA beer, can't believe it's already half a year old.

Look: muddy orange with a large white frothy head of decent retention. Aroma: mango and peach, New World hops, berry jam, lactic. Taste: fruity, peach and mango, lactose. Hopy and dry ending. Spruce. Mouth feel: light body despite fruit flesh floating around. Lively carbonation. Summary: simple, drinkable, not a flop. Just nothing to praise for.
