Copenhagen 14/9 2020. 33 cl can. A gift from colleagues at work. Weird Keith Shore drawing of a kissing couple on the can.

Pours hazy, pale yellow with a big fluffy white head. Stable. Settles as 4 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a light exotic sweet odor mingling with strong citric notes. Orange lemonade with a touch of mango. Grape fruit and citrus.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, smooth and soft, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly stronger citric bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish with a sour undercurrent. Lingers for a bit. Finish is semi-dry.

Pleasant, smooth and well-balanced NEIPA. A light boozy kiss.

 

 

En rigtig sommerlig øl, hazy og gul. Den har en duft af citrus/mango. Der er ikke så meget smag, den er mere dense. Light body, fresh feel

 

 

 

 

 

look: two to three finger frothy white head with decent retention and a little bit of lacing, beer is a super bright hazy straw colour, gentle carbonation in the beer.

smell: freshly squeezed orange juice all the way, hint of pine, lemon and lime, floral, quite sweet, a little pink grapefruit too.

taste: sweet orange juice, really is very heavily dominated by this one flavour, it’s a nice flavour but of course it lacks balance, there’s a bit of caramel malt, other citrus fruits, hint of pine, very light bitterness on the finish, very light in general really.

feel: very light bodied, medium to high carbonation, has a slight orange soda quality to it although not nearly as sweet, little syrupy and sticky, but drinkable enough.

overall: not too bad to be fair it, certainly one dimensional, but drinkable still.

 

Pours the usual dirty NEIPA pineapple juice color, with barely an inch of white head which disappears quickly.

Smell after decanting has fresh pine, linden blossom, mango and pineapple notes.

Taste is overwhelmed with citrus/lemon and the carbonation just amplifies it, but you can discover other fruity notes after you fight your way trough the lemon overload. Bitterness is very moderated.

Feels a bit watery while drinking, although it’s only 4.9% ABV, in fairness. Leaves a lasting bitter and sour, semi-dry finish.

I imagine, it’d be a very refreshing end to a warm summer day, f.e. after working in the garden.

Not bad at all, but it’s just that there’s nothing really special about it, I wouldn’t refuse if offered, tho. In my opinion it’s better than Brewdog’s Hazy Jane, but not even close to SN’s Hazy Little Thing (it reminds me a bit of the session edition).

Pours a slightly hazed yellow color with a stable, medium sized head.

Smells of a surprisingly complex fruit basquet, with lots of mango and passion fruit among unripe orange and lime pulp.

Has a light, refreshing mouthfeel, with a soft, yet vivid carbonation.

Tastes of slightly bitter limes, white bread dough and a hint of passion fruit. Turns a tad sweeter then, with a slightly metallic carbonation adding to the flavors. Finishes pretty dull and watery, with neither the fruits nor the bitterness prevailing.

Yeah, this is a little too light bodied to convince.
