Can at Hop Hooligans in Bucharest. Pale gold with a frothy, white head. Dank aroma with pineapple and berry-like hints. Faint bitter with enough hops to keep it mildly interesting. Above average for the style.

Draft at the Hop Hooligans taproom in Bucharest. Yellow with a frothy, white head. Pineapple and passion fruit. Bitter up front, bordering on acrid at the finish. Not refreshing, but easygoing enough.

Back in production I guess. Draft at the Hop Hooligans taproom in Bucharest. Yellow with a frothy, white head. Pineapple and lemons. Orange pith. Bitter up front, a touch citric, with a lingering acrid finish that wears out it’s welcome. Intense and unbalanced.

Draft at the Hop Hooligans taproom in Bucharest. Listed on the board as Hypno vio Cake, same style and abv. Dark brown, clear, with a thin head. Smells like a dark chocolate cake. Taste is sweet .. way to sweet for my taste. One taste is interesting, but this rapidly becomes cloying. Shared a 200ml glass four ways and it was still too much.
