Can at home from Sterk, Amsterdam, 9th February 2020. Pours a cloudy yellow orange. Aroma is orange, tropical smoothie, tangerine. Taste is Citrus, peach, pineapple, lots going on and a tickley light bitter sherbet linger. Good stuff, lots of hops in here. Quality muck.

16 oz can from Tavour. Pours out like pink grapefruit juice, small creamy off-white head. Nose is mostly strawberry. Taste adds guava and lactose notes, hint of vanilla at the back. Mildly tart and thoroughly enjoyable.

473ml can. Opaque, quasi black colour with small to average, forth yto creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Sweet-ish, chocolately dark malty and spicy aroma, notes of dark chocolate, chocolate cake, chocolate sauce, some vanilla, cinnamon, peppery spicy and minimally smoky whiffs of chipotle. Taste is sweet, chocolately dark malty and spicy, notes of cinnamon and vanilla, peppery spicy, minimally smoky notes of chipotle bring that typical effect of increasing, accumulating hotness. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft palate, completely hidden alcohol. Exactly what it wants to be (Mexican Hot Chocolate) but not in an Imperial way; spiciness really pushes the envelope without crossing the line to discomfort. Pretty good.

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Not overly intense, but rich and manifold, juicy, fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of tropical fruit, yellow stone fruit, gooseberry, white grapes, citrus fruit, oaty malty background. Taste is sweet, oaty and wheaty malty, juicy fruity hoppy, notes of tropical fruit, hints of yellow stone fruit, some citrus; peppery spicy yeasty overtones. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate. A tad too sweet and minimally below expectations concerning the intensity of hop flavours - considering this to be triple dry hopped. But still very nice of course!

16 oz can from Tavour, 1/28/20. Clear golden, small head, no lace. Sweet and very fruity. Lactose is sitting in this one. The fruity milkshake flavors are on what I assume was the target, but I could have used some balance. Cloyingly sweet. Otherwise fine, but a 16 oz can is a lot. 8/3/6/3/14
