440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, dark golden colour average, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Slightly grassy and citrusy fruity, minimally piney, hoppy aroma, minimally spicy, pale malty and wheaty malty background, hints of orange, quince, mandarine, melon, whiffs of weed. Taste is slightly dank, resinous, piney, grassy and fruity hoppy, minimally spicy, pale malty as well as wheaty and oaty malty basis, hints of weed, melon, a touch of woody pineapple, orange peel, old lemon peel.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, fine, dense, creamy, mildly prickly carbonation.
Homogeneous, way more savoury than fruity - OK.

300ml, draft @ BeerWallCafé
Haven't had a similar beer until now. I would've said it's a NEIPA, but it was clearly marketed as a DDH IPA. Has some notes of nut or figs or something pleasant - I just can't put my finger on it. Really liked it.

Draft at the Ironic taproom in Bucharest. Black with a beige head. Chocolate, charcoal, fudge. Bitter with a faint sourness and a hint of resin. Body to the light side of medium. Ok.

Can shared at "ZZT nieuw leven in blazen"-tasting. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma is nicely hoppy, spruce notes. Flavor is malts and some kind of mix of spruce, pineapple and lime. Quite bitter especially in the aftertaste with a herbal-ish spruce finish. Not bad.
