500ml can. Clear, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with small to average, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, moderately lacing, snow white head. Citrusy fruity and piney, hoppy aroma, minimally strawy, pale malty background, hints of lemon, orange, pine, white grapes, a touch of sparkling wine, honey. Taste is citrusy fruity and piney hoppy, minimally strawy, pale malty basis with some residual sweetness, hints of orange, lemon, pine, orange peel, some honey, sparkling wine, white grapes; dry and minimally warming, alcoholic finish, well hidden alcohol overall.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Probably the best (in the sense of "most characteristic") example of a Brut IPA I had so far, really exhibiting the idea/typical features of the style in a comprehensible way, clean, dry, (vinous) fruity - doesn't make me a fan of the style nonetheless.

330ml can. Murky, orange, golden to amber colour with average, firm, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney, resinous and slightly citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, wheaty malty background, further "non-hoppy" fruitiness, notes of pine and orange, hints of cherry, cherry yoghurt, "Fritt Kirsche". Taste is mildly bitter, piney and slightly citrusy fruity hoppy, wheaty malty basis, some further floral fruitiness, diluted hints of cherry, cherry yoghurt, "Fritt Kirsche", some orange and pine, weak floral bitterness; decrease of citrus flavours and fading of the malt base in the finish, the cherry note remains constant.
Watery texture, smooth and minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Citrus and cherry flavours remain widely divided, find together only in the middle part to form a rather homogeneous fruitiness; nice cherry touch throughout, quite light and watery overall - OK.
