Tasteful, authentic tropical fruit combining nicely with a slight mixed culture character. Fruity, juicy, moderately tart and free of wort, oxidation, sugary adjunct, etc...
Wow, an actual body to this? Crazy. It has a sort of syrupy Dole fruit cup body, but honestly, I'll take that over thin, watery, seltzer body. Flavors are excellent. Tropical fruit, pineapple galore with some actual mixed culture hints. Another actually enjoyable-to-drink NA beer for me.

Oooh nice and citrusy! No oxidation or wort, but a hint of sweet caramel backing this really lovely hop character. Not exactly pilsner hops, but whatever, call it a WC Pils if you want. Yeast on the finish adds a crisp touch redolent of something like Heineken.
Malty with some adjunct sugar, it seems. But it gives an actual body and it's better than the seltzery NA crap that is the norm. Pear, apple, tropical citrus depart from the style, but it doesn't matter. It's flavorful and not worty. There's some caramel-like sweetness in there that I don't love; as it takes away from the refreshing brightness, but otherwise, another well-done Mikkeller/DeProef NA.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head and low carbonation; fruity yeast aroma; sweet berry fruit taste to start, then a tart berry bitterness. Unexpectedly tasty.

[33cl can from Beer52.] An amber pour with a thick white head; bready aroma; bready malt taste, with a sharp fresh grassy bitterness; and some honey to finish. A straightforward Belgian blonde.

Dark ruby colour, steady beige head. Strong coconut, a bit greasy nose, some alcohol and spices. Full-bodied. Sweet, some alcohol, coconut, some spices, berryish. Well, it is a bit cloying.

Backlog. Hazy ambery orange colour with a creamy mediumsized head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is some raspberries, mild wheat and a bit tartness. Flavour is wheat, some tartness, wood and some raspberries and mild herbal tones.

Can, best before Nov 14, 2026, drunk Mar 5, 2026.
I recall weird weather wasn't initially a hazy IPA; I thought it was more of a mixed fermentation, mixed grain, Belgian-ish pale ale. But I can find zero evidence of this anywhere online.
Anywho, this has a wonderful hop-and-yeast combo creating the soft, tropical, juicy, sweetly citrusy character that you want out of a classic NEIPA. Clean with no wort, stale hop, overboiled hop or weirdness going on.
Juicy and chewy with pineapple, passion fruit, papaya and such. Really lovely texture here; no seltzery thinning and even a bit of sweetness to it with good juice and mild bitterness to-style.
It's not perfect (hence the not-perfect score); it could be a bit more bitter and have more expressive/explosive hop character, but this is an NA beer that I will drink without feeling like I'm compromising my drinking standards - one that is actually highly enjoyable to drink (mostly on account of the fantastic, deep texture, no wort, no off flavors).
