440ml can. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy half-way lasting, minimally lacing, snow white head. Citrusy fruity and slightly grassy, hoppy aroma, pale and minimally oaty malty background, hints of mandarine and peach, a touch of pineapple, weak, earthy-grassy undertones. Taste is moderately bitter, earthy-grassy and slightly fruity hoppy, hints of orange, orange peel, slightly diluted hints of peach, a touch of old lemon peel.
Oily watery texture, smooth and minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Rather earthy hop flavours, somehow "clumsy", not overly refreshing - so-so.

From tap at Wee Vault, Edinburgh. Easy Pale with fruity hop, bready pale malt, tropical notes, citrus, some grass. Nice tribute to Simcoe hop. Bit dry with a moderate bitterness. Sessionable and easy.

44cl can bought at the brewery, shared with Tderoeck in Brussels. BB 10/2025.
Brune foncée, col fin café au lait.
Arôme est plaisnat sur le malté avce qcq soupçons de grillé, chocolat, pointe de lactose et un renfort un peu de fruits secs/noirs voire un côté sirupeux de sirop de Liège en mode caramélisé fruité.
Palais est finement malté avec une dose de caramel, toffee et un côté lactose assez délicat snas verseer comme cela se voit souvent dans un effet lactique de yaourt parfois infecté. Ici je ressens aussi un côté délicatement fumé de baccon avec un support de fruits noirs - pruneaux, dattes et mûres.

44cl can, shared with Tderoeck. BB?
Pâle/dorée sur un voile partant presque sur une inspiration haze, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme reste centrée sur une base de pale ale mais avec un apport de haze assez prenant, je retrouve surtout une bonne dose de résine appuée par un retour cara pâle.
Palais est léger mais avec un effet haze que je n'avais pas vu venir, cela passe plus pour une session hazy IPA , assez sèche tout au long avec pas mal de résine en fin de bouche.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this gold beer, very small pale cream colour head that lasts no time at all. Light palate, semi dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Cooling pine. A little savoury skunk and a light hop spice nip. Mellow candy fruit hops, mellow citrus. Would not have known Nelson was in here. Airy and semi dry finish. Tidy dipa if nowhere near top draw material.

44cl can, BB end 11/2025.
Brune foncée/noire, col épais café au lait assez tenace.
Arôme sur les malts grillés et chocolat avec une certaine douceur avec un appui houblonné frais en support où je retrouve un effet rappelant le thym.
Palais sur une base maltée assez sèche, touche fine rappelant le chocolat au lait. Plaisante note herbacée - mentholé avec une note surfant sur les cendres porté par une rondeur d'avoine et une fine douceur de miel et lavande avec une touche épicée et sèche herbacée en fin de bouche
