Can. Color: Very hazy orange, white head. Aroma: Hoppy, melon, hints of citrus. Taste: Melon, subtle orange, hints of lime and white grape. Smooth and quite dense malty body. Moderate sweet and light to moderate hopbitterness. Just over medium body, average carbonation. Dry-ish fruity and bittery finish. Ok.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Draught@TCBW2022. Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral and some caramel with mild tartness too. Flavour is cheesy, some tart fruits and mild pineapples to it. Easy going and refreshing. Hides the 8% nicely.

Draught@TCBW2022 (thanks Lars P!). Slightly hazy amber colour with a small slightly off-white head. Aroma is floral, some fruity, nectary and alcohol sweetness to it. Flavour is caramel, fruity, nectary, boozy and some mild nectary and tropical fruit juice concentrate like elements. Quite brutal.
