Fast gone fine white head, soon reduced to rim over veiled yellow beer. Citrussy nose, asafoetida², hopoils, pineapple. Pineapple very much returning, asafoetida much less in the flavour. Exotic fruitesters, sweet potato, citruspeel. Medium bodied at best, but very (hopoil)slick. Soft carbonation. Decent, if nowhere remarkable. Been there, done that.

Can shared at tasting. Yellow color, white head. Smell and taste are moderately malty, very pleasantly hoppy, tropical fruit hoppy, softly bitter perhaps but that could be a little more imo. Nonetheless a pleasant one.

Pale yellow and hazy with thin head. It's got tropical fruit notes. Spiky hop taste. Not bad. Seems quite alcoholic.

44cl can, BB 12/2024 de et partagée avec Tderoeck. Merci !
Dorée/pâle, col crémeux blanc.
Arôme sur un bouquet centré sur les agrumes – hop burn avec un rétro-nasal assez intense niveau poussiéreux et céréales. C’est assez confus pour moi, les houblons semblent perdus dans un résiduel de levure style neipa.
Un palais très sec, voire beaucoup trop ave des notes terreuses du dry hopping (je suppose ?) – herbacé assez sec oscillant presque sur un côté foin/tabac. Passable, le tout est beaucoup trop sec en bouche et laisse cette sensation de poussiéreux/poudreux avec des relents de neipa plutôt sur l’épicé en fin de bouche – le tout est tenace tout au long.
