Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear super pale blonde with very quickly dissipating white head. Light, pear skins, clean, but fairly mild. Okay.

Poured from 250mL can. Murky dull blonde with white head. Sweet marshmallow, tropical hops, yeasty, hop burn, a big mess.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear-ish yellow with white head. Quite dry, mild corn malt, feint Belgian yeast quality, neutral bittering hops. Wondering if the age allowed it to dry out more. Decent.

Poured from 375mL bottle. Near black with minimal beige head. Lots of toasted coconut with feint rum backing, some dark sugars, slightly boozy, decent.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 15/Jan/2025). Opaque dark yellowy orange with no head. Banana forward with strawberry and mild mango, has a feint odd granola character in the background (maybe a slight earthy plaintain quality). Was expecting a bit thicker based on the consistency of the pour, okay.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 26/09/2024). Murky yellow with small white head. Citrus and tropical hops with some cat pee, feint chalkiness, but otherwise held up quite well despite its age. Decent.

Aug 13, 2025 (8/4/8/4/17=4.1): Poured from 375mL bottle (my traded bottle from Derek & JF). Same rating notes, but slightly less thin than I remember, decent.

June 11, 2025 (8/4/8/4/16=4.0): Poured from 375mL bottle (provided by beerplace, but thanking Derek & JF anyway and will trade or just casually share my bottle). Near black with minimal beige head. Oaky bourbon, almost a touch on the thinner side, not much else besides the barrel character. Decent in terms of barrel character, but not much underneath supporting the beer. It's fine.

Poured from 375mL bottle (2023-2024 vintage; bb 09/02/2034). Ruby red with dissipating pink-ish white head. Mild horseblanket, soft cherry, good funk, doesn't have nearly as much acidity as many Tilquins, solid kriek.
