Bottle shared in London - thanks to Matteo. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Odd nose, some plastic, lemon, peel. Medium sweet flavor, with some jammy citrus, ripe lemon, salt. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Tart finish, with more lemon, sugary meringue, salty sweat. So so overall.

Bottle thanks to Matteo. It pours cloudy golden - yellow with a tiny white head. The aroma is funky, dirty, musty, old cheddar cheese, vinous and must. The taste is crisp, sweet - sour, tart, creamy, cheesecake, lactic tang, grapefruit, orange peel, dull vomit, hint of celery and lemon with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. A bit odd. Meh.

750 ml bottle in a trade with a dude from Untappd. No bottling date or code anyplace. Cool label. Thin white head lacing the snifter. Color is a hazy orange. Aroma is mega shit ton of fruit. Peach, guava and papaya juice. And plenty of malty caramel.

Is there hops in this brew? Wow, a mega ton of fruit juice. The huge amount of fruit juice makes this very sweet. Almost no bitterness at all in the finish. As far as the malt bill... Well, it’s not he but the amount of fruit nuances are in the absurd amount. If I tasted this blind, I never would have called this an IPA. Would have said fruit beer. And definitely they must have use fruit.

Holy fucking fruit cocktail Batman!

Decent fruited berliner. Caramel needs to go and US blueberries are tricky.
