Straight from can during a hike, at De Sysselt. Aroma: Floral hop. Taste: Floral hop, spicy hop, hints of citrus fruit. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Medium going to over medium bitterness without getting harsh. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Malty base, some bread. Nice 'old skool' West Coast IPA.

Can, 7.0%. Distinct acidic berry aroma. Smells like raspberry to me, but must be cherry. Very acidic, and bites my nose bit. Hint of paint thinner. Hazy deep red colour. Very small head. The flavour is also very acidic, but balanced by a good sweetness. Fat cherries mostly, but also with a little vanilla. Salty finish? In-your-face, yet balanced.

Can. Pours clear cherry red with very small pinkish head. Clear aroma of cherries and wine, with touches of malt. Intensely dry flavour, with sweetish hints of cherries and malt. Cherrylike aftertaste with notes of sour yeast. Very low carbonation. Not bad, but not easy to drink, either, even for sourheads, I guess.

Tired...
Smell- weak to medium hops, fruits, citrus
Foam- thin, fruits, hops, bitter tones, citrus, citra hops. Head is medium sized, white in color.
Appearance- somewhat nice design, futuristic. Hazy yellow-orange in color.
From - snifter
Taste - weak hops, fruits, citrus, sweetness, very sweet, almost sickly sweet. Feels a lot like early Arpus beers I used a lot, and probably the culprit here is citrus hops. I am also tired and looking for beer, so might be biased, but it goes down nice. Alcohol well hidden.

Small, if stable russet-cream head over jet-black beer. Fruitgums (yes!), liquorice, gingercarke, coffeemilk, caramel. Gingercake with preserved fruit and tobacco, guimauves , again fruitgums (yes bis!!), fatty acids. Very slick/oily. Low to medium carbonation, sticky feel. What IS this? Jumble of impressions, going in every direction, with no trace of harmonisation.

440ml can. Cloudy, amber colour with late awakening, small to average, dense, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Dank, resinous, grassy and slightly citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, wheaty malty background, notes of weed, some melon, a touch of grapefruit. lemongrass. Taste is creamy, wheaty malty with some residual sweetness, dank, resinous, slightly grassy and citrusy fruity hoppy, hints of orange, orange peel, white grape jelly; mild hop bitterness, well hidden alcohol.
Full and somehow "heavy" body, viscous-oily texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, soft carbonation.
Surprisingly mild, quite homogeneous, neither too condensed nor heavy, slight Hopfenweisse allusions - pretty decent.
