Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear-ish orangey copper with small off-white head. Phenolic, estery, thin, some dark sugars, a touch boozy, Dageraad didn't help much here. Meh.

473mL can, pours a mostly clear bright golden with a small white head. Nose is dominated by funky brett, which has overtaken any hop-forwardness this has, but that’s OK given how nice the brett is. Flavour is much the same, with a lovely brett character that dominates; again, not much in the way of hop expression, though it is dry and lightly bitter on the finish. Very nice brett bomb. Nice to see a brewery still trying in BC.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 2025-04-07). Clear gold with white head. Malty grain character with mild grassy tropical hops and a slight resin finish. A bit odd, not a whole lot of NZ character and the malt is quite grainy. Average.

Can shared at Hori, köszi Előd! Nagyon szép példája az addíciók alapsörbe való integrálásának, úgy hogy közben ne boruljon föl a balansz, és a célját is elérje a dolog. Crisp, frissítő, kerek sör.

Can shared at Hori, közi Előd! Intenzíven hozza a várt észteres jegyeket, némi fenolos fűszerességgel megtámogatva, szerencsére egyikből sem megy el a véglete felé. Testben a kissé szárazabb iskolát képviseli, de ebből adódóan frissítőbb, könnyebben iható is lesz. Kellemes, pedig nem vagyok rajongója a műfajnak.
