7.6
Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 8

440ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Intense, uicy, citrusy and tropical fruity, minimalyl perfumed, hoppy aroma, wheaty and oaty malty background, notes of orange, mandarine, mango, passion fruit, grassy-resinous overtones of hemp. Taste is slightly bitter and grassy, fruity hoppy, pale and wheaty malty, minimally oaty malty basis, somehow "neutral", sweet-ish, pulpy fruity ground layer (melon, grapes and the like), tropical and minimally citrusy fruity hoppy hints of orange, mandarine, mango, minimally bitter-leafy undertones; a minimally alcoholic touch throughout, a tad more alcohol with minimally warming effect in the finish.
Slightly creamy and oily, dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to fine, dense, soft, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very intense, very fruity, a tad too alcoholic - good.

750ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish, faint golden colour with small, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Tangy, yeasty funky and minimally herbal aroma, widely disguised, minimally strawy, pale malty background, notes of brine, mustard seed, dill, a touch of marjoram, tarragon, juniper, white balsamico, grapefruit rind, oaky overtones. Taste is tart, tangy, funky yeasty, minimally fruity and herbal, minimally tannic, pale malty basis with low residual sweetness, notes of brine, white balsamico, a touch of dill, mustard seed, juniper unripe kiwi fruit, some oak, a touch of grapefruit rind.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy on the lips, rather astringent on palate and in the gullet, medium to fine, prickly carbonation.
Complex, fairly balanced (though quite astringent) - pretty decent but simply not my cup of tea.

330ml can. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, fluffy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Wheaty malty, yeasty spicy and yeasty fruity as well as floral-grassy hoppy aroma, notes of fresh hay, a touch of pear, apple, banana, some clove, white pepper, a touch of cardamom and coriander, minimally bready, wheaty malty background with a touch of white bread crust.

Watery texture, soft, fragile palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Wow! This is superbly crafted, light and drinkable, well hidden or transformed (if present) doughy off-flavours, almost like a diluted Hopfenweisse - impressive!

330ml bottle. Opaque, darkest brown colour with slightly late awakening, small, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, dark beige head. Sweet-ish and slightly roasty, minimally bready and spicy, dark and caramel malty, minimally yeasty fruity aroma, hints of treacle, dark caramel, some dried fruit, a touch of plum, plum butter, blackcurrant. Taste is rather neutral, minimally bready, dark malty, slightly yeasty fruity and minimally tart-ish, tannic, woody, hints of blackcurrant, prune, blue grapes, low residual sweetness; very well hidden alcohol.
Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft, creamy carbonation.
Somewhat vinous fruity, seemingly light, BA character somehow - enjoyable, not what I expected.
Expected way more substance and sweetness; this is a very mild, vinous fruity, dark Sour Ale. As my Joppenbier experience is quite restricted (for self-evident reasons), I may have to adjust my expectations concerning this style.
