Description
The brewery: Nestled in the Swiss Alps, not far from Geneva and Mont Blanc, and just a stone's throw from the French and Italian borders, White Frontier is a brewery created by free-spirits for free-spirits. Not afraid of pushing the boundaries, the team likes to live life on the edge, taking their inspiration from the great outdoors. And if they're not brewing, then they can most likely be found snowboarding, skiing, or simply hanging out, preferably with a great cup of coffee.

Black, small beige head. Roasted aroma, coffee, dark chocolate. Bittersweet flavour, roasted malt and coffee. Rather light and has a faint hint of something sour in the finish.

Bottle from Honest Brew. Low key yeasty aroma - some citrus and spice. Hazy pale gold. Bubbly white head is short-lived. Medium bitter with some sweetness coming through into the finish. Sharp citrus. Thin. Slick. Soft to flat carbonation. Abrupt finish - a tad dry; a tad astringent. Decent.

20/VII/18 - 33cl can from a trade, shared @ the Second Tasting Without Tinus This Week (home) - BB: X/2018 (2018-868) Thanks to CH-303 for the trade!

Very cloudy orange blond beer, big aery yellowish head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit funky, lots of tropical fruits, mango, passion fruit, super fruity, citrus, grapefruit, good stuff, though it smells a little bit infected and sourish? MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: soft acidity, lots of citrus, bit sweetish, caramel, lots of papaya and mango, alcohol, nice! Aftertaste: pretty bitter, alcohol, sweetish ripe to overripe fruits, hoppy, bit floral, very nice dank and resinous finish.

Soft rich orangey citrus with a mango undertone. Nibbly hop spice. Trace of strawberry. Smooth and hop spicy finish. A soft rich and satisfying dipa. Nice job.

Can. Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light sweetish malts. Decent orangey hops, mildly spicy, little grapefruit. Modest hop skunk and a trace of tropical fruits. Light mildly spicy finish. Could be crisper but satisfyingly hoppy.

Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, reasonably sweet. Light crisp orange hops, little pine thrown in for good measure. Little sweeter orange. Light finish. Simple IPA but quite drinkable.

Keg at BBNo. It pours clearish golden with a medium white head. The sweet, rich tropical fruits, passion fruit, candy, fruit salad sweets, Mango and fruit pie. The taste is quite sweet upfront, sugary, candy, fruit pie, passion fruit, apricot, mango, papaya, tannin, bit of alcohol, oiliness and wood. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. No doubt it's fruity, but quite sweet for my tastes. Ok.

Cloudy blond appearance with soapy head. Aroma is nice with lots of citrusy hop. Flavour gets a bit skunkier. Low carbonation. Disappointing.
