Best before August 5th 2021 can.

It pours a pale gold with a great head of foam and...I see some floaties whilst pouring. Hell, it can't be that old. I see that they've settled to the bottom of the glass. Still, it is worrisome.

The smell is fruity sour, I imagine some exotic fruity sourness. Lemon is pretty obvious, maybe pears, more likely limes, anywho, definitely tart notes.

Taste is limes, lemon to a lesser degree, a little bit of acetic tartness and that's a good thing. Refreshing taste and that is always welcome. Calamansi..no idea what that's aboot. And I don't feel like googling to find out.

Good mouthfeel, good beer. That generic looking can has some good contents.

 

 

 

12 ounce can poured into a Duvel tulip glass. Best by date of 8/15/21.

L---Light, bright golden color almost perfectly clear. Thin head that faded to a ring almost immediately. It left meh lacing.

S---Lots of fruit/citrus. Orange is dominant.

T---I'm not even going to pretend that I know what the hell a calamansi fruit is, so please feel free to disregard my review. In any case, there's strong orange and lime. Lighter lemon.

F---Carbonation is very good, leading to a light, mimosa feel to it.

O---Again, disregard my review for my lack of knowing WTF a calamansi fruit is. But as a mimosa wannabe, this is pretty good.

Pours medium gold and just slightly chill-hazed with limited head but nice persistent lacing.

Aromas of clementines and lemongrass.

Fairly sweet, and almost artificially so on the tip of the tongue, but some nice grassy and woody notes rescue this one in midstream.

Medium light in body and well carbonated.

This is pretty tasty. But for the style, it is awfully sweet and simple. It's almost more evocative of a Berliner than a wild ale.

 

Copper colored with a quarter inch of eggshell white on top. Heavy lacing. Not much aroma, a suggestion of citrus and oak. There’s plenty of sharp citrus rounded out by the oak aging.
